This Rice Pilaf is the simplest, most flavorful rice dish you can make. Long-grain rice is toasted, then simmered in stock with sautéed vegetables and herbs for a fluffy, aromatic side that works for everyday meals or holiday tables.
If you like easy, comforting rice dishes, you’ll enjoy this homemade pilaf just as much as other favorites like Chicken and Rice Soup or Chicken Fried Rice.

This is a homemade take on boxed rice pilaf mixes such as Rice-A-Roni, but it’s easier than you might think. With a few pantry staples and a short cooking time you’ll have a versatile side that pairs well with roast meats, grilled chicken, or a holiday leftovers bowl—add diced turkey or ham to make it a full meal.
