rice pilaf

Broth-cooked grain dish

Rice pilaf is a dish of rice cooked in seasoned broth, often with onions, spices, and sometimes vegetables or meat.

The rice is typically toasted in oil or butter before liquid is added, producing grains that stay separate rather than clumping: The lamb came with rice pilaf and a side salad.
