Bored with boiled rice? Try this fun pilaf from Joyce Graves of Sterling Heights, Michigan. This pilaf is mild tasting and a great way to include fiber in your diet, writes Joyce. Because I like experimenting with different grains, I buy at a bulk food store. Being able to purchase just the amount you need for a recipe is a real advantage. Ingredients:
1/2 cup chopped green onions |
2 garlic cloves, minced |
2 teaspoons butter |
1 cup uncooked long grain rice |
1/2 cup bulgur |
1/4 cup quick-cooking barley |
3 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth or vegetable broth |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
dash pepper |
1/3 cup minced fresh parsley |
Directions:
1. In a large saucepan, saute onions and garlic in butter until tender. Add the rice, bulgur and barley; cook and stir for 5 minutes.
2. Gradually stir in the broth, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 25 minutes or until grains are tender and broth is absorbed. Stir in parsley. Yield: 8 servings.
