Shredded carrot adds sweetness and color to this rice pilaf recipe. Use fresh mushrooms, such as shiitake, chanterelle, or porcini, for a more exotic dish.
Bonnie Baumgardner often serves this quick skillet side dish to delighted guests at her Sylva, North Carolina home. 'It tastes so delicious it's hard to believe it's good for you,' she exclaims. 'And it's hearty enough to serve as a meatless main dish.'
Mushrooms, celery and water chestnuts add texture and crunch in this comforting casserole. Chicken and rice are perfect partners that always satisfy.--Linda Durnil, Decatur, Illinois
A sauce of fresh cilantro, green onions, ginger, and garlic is stirred into the cooked rice to give it intense fragrance and flavor. Shiitake mushrooms add an earthy, smoky flavor.
Easy to prepare and rich in flavor, the casserole pairs fabulously with roasted chicken, ham, or pork chops. This simple dish has become a staff favorite, and we believe it will be right at home in your home, too.
