Rice Pilaf Recipe

Rice Pilaf Recipe from Menus 4 Moms

3 T. olive oil
1 medium onion chopped
1 clove garlic minced
1/2 green pepper chopped, seeded
1/2 red pepper chopped, seeded
1 cup of frozen peas, thawed
1 c. long grain rice (or brown rice* for healthier version)
2 c. chicken broth (if you are using brown rice add extra water)
herbs of your choice (basil, rosemary, thyme, oregano, etc.)

Saute onion, garlic and peppers in oil until tender. Add rice and brown until lightly browned. Mix the rest of the ingredients and add to pan. Cover and cook 20-25 minutes (longer - closer to 45 minutes - for brown rice).

We loved this! (I added more water/broth than what it calls for)

Rice Pilaf sounds great. I eat it only in restaurants. You have encouraged me to try to make it. Thanks, Doylene
