I am a big rice eater. Coming from a country where rice is the staple food, I think there’s no wonder about that. But surprisingly, I had never eaten rice pilaf until when we had our New Year’s Day dinner at Cracker Barrel. I’d been wanting to try it though, but just didn’t get around to do it.
A couple of days ago, things went as planned, especially since I didn’t forget to put the ingredients on the grocery list. So, I finally was able to prepare my much-desired pilaf here at home. I got a recipe online, but chose to tweak it a bit.
Here it is.
The fact that I love mushrooms added to my enjoyment of this recipe. I was also glad that both my husband and son liked it. I was such a happy camper! (“,)

I love mushrooms! I had a really nice mushroom risotto at a restaurant that looked similar to your pilaf (I’m wondering if it’s sort of the same as risotto).
Not sure about that. I’ll check on that one. I haven’t tried risotto yet, I guess.
One of my favorite sides is rice with veggies. Thanks for sharing this great recipe.
You’re welcome! (“,)
I love seeing people match foods that I dared not even think to try. This not only may be a tasty combination but it also looks absolutely, visually stimulating. I have to pass this one on to my Mother.
I consider myself adventurous when it comes to food. You should try this. It is definitely tasty. (“,)
Huge mushroom fan here! This looks absolutely delicious! I may have to give this a try!
You should. (“,)
Rice pilaf is delicious all on it’s own. I can only imagine how amazing it tastes with mushrooms.
This sounds really good. I wouldn’t think to put mushrooms with rice however as I’m not a big fan of them however I know a guy who would love this recipe.
This looks so yummy! Can’t wait to try it!
Such a healthy dish, I would love to make it this weekend; I love brown rice a lot!
This looks super yummy! I’m not a big mushroom fan lately, so I give those to Hubs, but I love rice pilaf!
I do like mushroom and brown rice – can’t eat much do to allergies, but am saving this recipe for a try out soon – Thank you!
That sounds super tasty. I love adding noodles to my rice pilaf as well.
That is interesting. I might try adding noodles next time. Thank you for the idea. (“,)
I do enjoy a good pilaf–and I have had it with mushrooms. I really am going to have to try and make this one!
This sounds yummy. I love mushrooms and I love brown rice. So I have a feeling this will be amazing. Chrystal @ YUM eating
Looks yummy. I could eat your Pilaf without any sides. Way back home I love adobong mushroom. Have you tried Jambalaya rice with sausage? It’s my fave.
I ate it too without sides. It’s already a whole meal for me. (“,) I haven’t tried Jambalaya rice with sausage. That sounds good. I’ll check for a recipe. Thanks for the idea.
We eat rice about once a week or so. This is a great way to jazz it up and add something new to the menu. Thanks.
I love eating rice. It is my favorite side dish to make. I love making stir fry’s. I will have to try this recipe.
This is an amazing rice dish. I love mixing and matching my brown rice with different veggies as well. I might have to try this recipe this week, since I’m having a snow storm. Great time to cook, to beat the boredom.
Yeah, the snow storm is coming your way. Take extra care. (“,)
I love rice pilaf and I love brown rice. But I have never tried them together. Wonderful idea … I’ll be trying this!
You should. (“,)
This looks like a very tasty dish. We enjoy rice at home and make lots of different dishes too.
Good to know that, Eliz. (“,)
Rice pilaf’s texture is something that we really like when eating in Italian restaurants. It’s best when paired with creamy food and tomatoes.
Rice pilaf with tomatoes. I haven’t tried that but it sounds really good. (“,)
My daughter would love this as she likes mushroom!
I haven’t try it in my life!! Looks delicious and I would love to try it at home, thanks for wonderful recipe.
That looks fantastic.I love rice too and we make pilaf often.
Looks really yummy except for the mushrooms. I am not a mushroom eater. The rest looks great.
That looks delicious! I am addicted to mushrooms! I love them to pieces.
