                    Did you know that authentic Turkish rice pilaf is supposed to be a bit sticky? Well, it is.  So, for a nice change of pace, give this one a try.  Ingredients: 
                    
                        
                                                1/4 cup butter  |  
                                                1 cup diced green bell pepper  |  
                                                1 cup sliced mushrooms (about 4 oz.)  |  
                                                1 large tomato, cubed (about 1-1/4 cups)  |  
                                                1 cup uncooked long-grain rice or 1 cup uncooked whole grain rice  |  
                                                1 teaspoon garlic powder  |  
                                                1 teaspoon salt  |  
                                                1/2 teaspoon pepper  |  
                                                1 (10 1/2 ounce) can condensed chicken broth  |  
                                                3/4 cup water  |  
                                                
                     
                    Directions: 
                    
                        
                            
                                1. In a medium-sized saucepan, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Add the green pepper and mushrooms and saute for 5 minutes. Add the remaining ingredients, stirring until blended. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low.
