For some time now my blogging friend, Plain Jane, has asked for a recipe for Rice Pilaf. But because my life has been a trifle busy since July, I haven't posted it. Yesterday I put the recipe on her blog and thought it might be a good time to come here and continue to post recipes and get back to doing what I love to do: cook!
My grandchildren, Shay and Frank, love this rice dish. It is simple and tastes good and can be cooked at the last minute! So, Shay and Frank, this one's for you!
RICE PILAF
1/4 cup butter
1 cup uncooked long grain rice
3 cups chicken broth
1/3 cup fine chopped celery
1/3 cup finely chopped carrots
3 green onions, finely chopped
1/2 cup slivered almonds
1 small can green peas
1 small can mushroom stems and pieces
1/4 cup finely minced parsley
Melt butter in a three quart saucepan. Add rice and stir until brown. Add chicken broth, cover and cook for 30 minutes. Mix celery, carrots, onions, almonds, peas and mushrooms and add to rice. Cover and cook an additional 10 minutes or until rice is completely done.
Serves 8

HI.. although I am not a fan of mushrooms that much I think I would try this without them..... I would have to make a small portion though as mom can't have many carbs anymore. YUMMY! : )
