Directions
As we all now, pilaf is a Middle Eastern rice dish. Depending on regional and cultural preferences, it can include meat, veggies, fish, or seafood. But the only thing remains constant – the technique of preparing rice. Pilaf is made by adding the rice to hot fat and stirring before adding the cooking liquid. And you don’t stir while it’s cooking. It produces a very crumbly and flavorful pilaf. This technique works with other grains, too. Today I suggest you make quinoa pilaf with veggies, almond, raisins, and Middle Eastern spices. It’s a healthy and incredibly delicious dish with some Middle Eastern attitude. It makes a great meal or a side dish.
The recipe uses chicken stock, but you can make it vegan by using vegetable broth instead.
