MEDITERRANEAN BROWN RICE PILAF
A delicious combination of Mediterranean flavors, this flavorful dish is both quick and healthy. Also, this dish is quite versatile, depending on your preferences. My family likes adding the eggs after adding the rice for a more moist pilaf; otherwise, cook the eggs before adding the rice to attain a drier version. Serve warm.
