Holiday Rice Pilaf Recipe from Chef Don McMillan

December 13, 2018 By Julie Lanford MPH, RD, CSO, LDN

This is a fun way to spruce up a starchy side dish for the holidays.

In our class, Chef Don from The Stocked Pot put onions, celery and carrots in the saute. Feel free to add whatever veggies you want!

If using brown rice, your cooking time will go up. It depends on the rice, but probably somewhere around 40 minutes.

Enjoy!
