I put out a call for a good pilaf recipe the other day and a few of you gave me some good suggestions. I ended up combining a recipe I found online and the suggestions of Margo. We loved this pilaf so thanks for your help Margo!
Simple Rice Pilaf
Adapted from here
2 t butter
1/2 c chopped onion
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 t salt
1 1/2 c white rice
2 c chicken stock
1/2 of a roasted red pepper, chopped
1/4 c shredded cheddar cheese
Heat the butter in a pot until melted. Add the onion and garlic and slowly saute until onion is soft. Add the salt and rice and toast this for a few minutes. Add the stock and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer 20 – 25 minutes or until rice is soft. Stir in the red pepper and cheese. Serve immediately.
Serves: 4
I have almost all of the roasted red peppers that I made last year still in the freezer! Considering Alivia’s love of rice and peppers I’ll be giving this a try! It sounds good!
When I made this rice, I realized I have pretty many left, too! Last winter I put a lot on pizza but this winter we’ve been more into plain frozen peppers and onions (sauteed) on pizza so the roasted ones aren’t going down as fast
sometimes you read my mind and post a corresponding recipe. so thanks. :0
You’re welcome!
oh, good. Glad this worked out. Almost everything is improved with butter and stock!
Yup
