PARMESAN RICE PILAF
MY Mom found this recipe in a local newspaper years ago and it has been one of our favorite side dishes for a long time. The original recipe was a little bland, so I have doctored it up a little. Sometimes I make more than I need for one meal so I can have leftovers.

Tips:
- Use high-quality rice: Long-grain rice like basmati or jasmine is a great choice for pilaf as it cooks evenly and stays fluffy.
- Rinse the rice thoroughly: This will remove any excess starch and help the grains cook evenly.
- Use a heavy-bottomed pot: This will help distribute heat evenly and prevent the rice from scorching.
- Toast the rice: Toasting the rice in a little bit of butter or oil before adding the liquid will give it a nutty flavor and help the grains stay separate.
- Use a flavorful broth: Chicken, vegetable, or beef broth will add a lot of flavor to the pilaf. You can also use water, but it won't be as flavorful.
- Don't overcook the rice: Pilaf should be cooked until the grains are tender but still have a slight bite to them.
- Let the pilaf rest: After cooking, let the pilaf rest for a few minutes before fluffing it with a fork. This will help the grains absorb the remaining liquid and prevent them from becoming mushy.
