Hipquest's Rice Pilaf

"A very versatile, easy dish to prepare. I usually double the recipe and freeze the leftovers. This is also very good when you add a couple of minced garlic cloves to the onions."

  1. excellent-I made this as directed and everyone loved it-I will make again! thank you hipquest
     
  2. WOW! I am not sure if I have EVER tasted a better rice pilaf. I made this with brown rice (it just took a little longer to cook, as the instructions correctly stated), which in itself is so healthy, yet lacks the yumminess of white rice. But one would never know it in this recipe, which explodes with a delightful nutty flavor and would be perfect with anything. I did serve this with Bev's Recipe #211977, as I often enjoy rice pilaf with fish entrees, and it seemed like each recipe was created with the other in mind, to be the perfect accompaniment. Thanks for posting. I am SO glad I thought to try this, and hope others do as well, so they do not miss out. ~Sue

Update: September 14, 2008 DH and I placed 3rd in the Rib division at Blues, Brews and BBQ in Charlotte, NC. Not bad for our 1st competition! I am so proud of DH for his grill skills and quite proud of my rib sauce! :) We both learned a lot and can't wait for the next contest! A big Shout-Out to my Cardiac Cats for the win today! GO Panthers! [img]http://dl10.glitter-graphics.net/pub/780/780920wevc3spomh.gif[/img] I'm a Georgia Peach transplanted to North Carolina who misses the best pecans, peaches and onions in the world. But, I gained the best BBQ, blue crabs and my husband(Mr. 4th of July, who still thinks all the fireworks are JUST for him! :) ). I've always wanted to cook. My earliest memory is being put into my NaNa's (very deep) sink. I was "involved" but not able to trip any of the cook's in the kitchen. ;0 My husband fell in love with my ability to cook-southern, haute cuisine (and anything in between) and on "the fly". It's not always perfect but I try. I can turn any leftover into an edible, usually very good, meal-all thanks to my grandmothers and mother's lessons. If you leave our house hungry I have failed as a host. I love to cook (of course); the Carolina Panthers, Georgia Bulldogs and Appalachain State-I am football crazy; Being on the water on our sailboat or jet skis; Eating, entertaining and wine. Some pictures from the Lake Norman Power Sports ICW trip on our Sea-Doos from Myrtle Beach to Charleston.What a great trip! I only wish I could have driven my ski and taken pictures at the same time. TS Christobal formed off the South East coast the day before we left. Going through Georgetown in 4 to 5 foot waves was a challenge, thank goodness for my Momma! <embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" src="http://w203.photobucket.com/pbwidget.swf?pbwurl=http://w203.photobucket.com/albums/aa179/hipquest/52db96c3.pbw" height="360" width="480"> <embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" src="http://w203.photobucket.com/pbwidget.swf?pbwurl=http://w203.photobucket.com/albums/aa179/hipquest/b3d2dfd2.pbw" height="360" width="480"></embed> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/Adopted1smp.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/smPACp.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket">
