    Mushroom Pilaf

    rice pilaf with mushroomsPin

    I've never been a fan of rice pilaf.

    Tonight, Joe made a recipe that he's had forever, and it changed my opinion of pilaf. This was delicious.

    Joe's father had a heart attack nearly fifteen years ago. He changed his lifestyle, and he started eating healthier foods.

    Joe tells me that his dad loved this healthy recipe and they ate it "every other day."

    I doubt they really ate it every other day, but one never knows. It is good, so maybe they did.

      Do you think the pilaf would taste just as great without the chopped parsley?

      I do think it would be fine without the parsley, Heather.

      I would probably add something else in its place, but it would depend on your individual tastes. Maybe oregano? Cilantro would give it a whole different flavor, but might also be good. 🙂

      Sab - We only put the almonds in if we happen to have them in the kitchen. It's just as good without them.
