I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my pilaf turned out really dry. I think I might have added too much rice.

The rice was a little mushy for my liking, but the flavors were still good.

This pilaf was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I would recommend using less Creole seasoning if you're not a fan of spicy food.
