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.

Conclusion:

Rice pilaf is a versatile dish that can be served as a side dish or a main course. It's a great way to use up leftover rice and it's also a good way to add some healthy vegetables to your diet. With its simple ingredients and easy-to-follow instructions, this recipe for rice pilaf with shallots and Parmesan cheese is a great place to start if you're new to cooking pilaf.
