Armenian Rice Pilaf with Mushrooms image

I got this from an Armenian girl who works in my bank. If you substitute margarine for the butter you have a good vegan meal.

The rice pilaf was good, but the mushrooms were a bit overcooked. I would recommend cooking them for a shorter amount of time.

This dish was a bit bland for my taste. I think it could have used more spices or herbs.

I love this recipe! It's a great way to use up leftover rice. I also like to add some chopped nuts or dried fruit to the pilaf for a little extra flavor.

I've made this recipe a few times now and it's always a hit! The rice is fluffy and flavorful, and the mushrooms add a delicious umami flavor. I like to serve it with grilled chicken or fish.
