Pilaf is a rice dish cooked in a seasoned broth. Although believed to have started in ancient India and made its way to ancient Iran, many cultures have adapted variations of this dish; adding different spices, vegetables, fruits, meats and even pasta to the pilaf when cooking. Often, the rice is sautéed lightly to attain a golden color before adding liquid.

I always sauté the aromatic ingredients to open them up before cooking the rice. Whether using onions, shallots, leeks, carrots, garlic or spices, make sure to sauté them without overly browning them.


This recipe is nice and rich. A great companion to a creamy sauce, coconut milk, spicy foods and much more. Choose the fresh herbs based on what you will be serving with this pilaf.
