Vegetarian Serbian Rice Pilaf

"I made this recipe especially for those of you who are always on the run and want something healthy to eat. This recipe is ready really fast and feeds 8 people! Tips for cooking rice pilafs: How do you know how much water you need to add? Easy! 3 times the amount of rice. It’s a 1:3 ratio. Also, boil the rice only for a couple of minutes then remove from heat and cover with a lid. This way it will absorb all the water and you’ll never have to worry again about burning the rice."

  1. Followed recipe exactly, even added 1 clove of garlic (for extra flavour) but apparently didn't add enough, because this was extremely bland & not appetising at all. Disappointing.
     
  2. Mmmmm! Yum. Very good pilaf recipe. Different than others I've made but we all really enjoyed this. I will make this again. Thanks, gourmandelle!
