The smoky flavor of this rice is everything!! Rice pilaf is one of those dishes that never disappoint when you have guests over, for a quick lunch, dinner or just because.
I love the vibrant yellow color, the smokiness, the veggies, and medley of spices. Try it, your mouth and belly will thank you.
The best thing about this dish is that it is a one pot wonder! Prep, dump in pot, wait…. polish your nails as you wait… and then enjoy with veggies, plantain, and grilled chicken!
