Directions
Rice Cooker Rice Pilaf,My husband loves this rice pilaf. Everytime I make rice he requests it. Hopefull you’ll like it too! It takes a little extra preparation than a rice mix, but I think it’s well worth it. You can also use wild rice, instead of white rice, but you’ll need to add more liquid and it will take longer to cook.,Instead of using all rice, I substitute with half rice and half orzo pasta (1 cup of each) and cut down the liquid to measure 1.25 cups of water per 1 cup of rice/orzo.,This recipe is great and has been a crowd-pleaser a couple of times already. The ingredients listed are proper, but I change up the mushrooms with shiitakes, add a little more slivered almond, and use less broth. I put in maybe 1 and 2/3 C instead of 2. I think next time I might even cut it down to 1.5 C. The less liquid it seems the finished product is fluffier and less gummy. For anyone out there who sucks at cooking rice like me, don’t forget to rinse the extra starch off the rice in a wire-mesh strainer in cold water before adding to the mixture. I had been mystified by rice my whole life (age almost 33) until not long ago. Somehow no one ever clued me in on rinsing the stuff off before cooking! Makes it so much less mushy. That’s what I get for growing up with a family who used nothing but boxed rice mixes. This recipe and other rice cooker recipes, btw, if you can buy ingredients bulk by weight, is very cheap and beats the hell out of ultra-salty boxed pilafs. Not only I but my guests and roommates are very happy with this recipe, thanks a lot Strawberrybird
