1
In a medium saucepan, heat olive oil over medium high heat.

i really liked this pilaf, but i think i accidentally overcooked the rice in step 4, leaving me with a very dry pilaf. i would like to try and make this one again. i paired it with a baked salmon with herbs recipe and the combination was very, very tasty.

This was very good. I liked the extra flavor from the parmesan, and the little extra kick from the red pepper flakes

This is so good! I sauteed some onion with the butter and pepper and used jasmine rice. I need to add a little more chicken broth, but the rice turned out perfectly. Thank you.

Really yummy! I used a long grain rice, vegetable broth, and just a shake of the pepper flakes. I also added garlic to the oil, and used shredded parmesan cheese. We really like it, and will definately make again, thank-you!
