" NEAR-EAST" RICE PILAF (LOW FAT)



I love those boxed rice pilaf, but the price is killer. Why buy when making this at home is so much easier and so inexpensive? This recipe will use only a little oil, and more seasonings to make this very tasty. A quick and beautiful dish that's sure to impress.
