Gluten Free Rice Pilaf
GF Rice Pilaf Comment:
This recipe stacks up against the best of them and you should have no hesitation making it as a side dish to go with any of your baked chicken, beef, pork or fish dinners.  We use regular long grain white rice along with HomeMade GF Chicken Broth and it’s one of our favorite dishes so go ahead and try it – modifying it as you go along to suit your own taste.

5-7 minutes to brown rice, an additional 20 minutes to finish it
