WHAT IS RICE PILAF?

At its most basic, rice pilaf is plain rice that is cooked using broth instead of water. Vegetables like diced onion, carrots and peas are usually added to the mix as well. Almost all vegetables come out delicious when making rice pilaf. So feel free to get creative with your veggie choices.

It’s an upgrade to your plain rice – but not so much work that you’d hesitate to whip it up on a busy school night.

We like to think of rice pilaf as plain rice that happened to get a little dressed up and headed out for drinks at a swanky bar. Nothing extravagant. Just a little extra panache.

Is rice pilaf easy to make in a rice cooker? One word: YES!

As it turns out, rice pilaf in a rice cooker is not only easy, it’s encouraged.
