Rice Pilaf
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 1 handful fine egg noodles
- 1 (large) clove garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup chopped onion
- 1 cup sliced mushrooms
- 1/2 teaspoon dried dill weed
- 1 cup white rice
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup lightly toasted pine nuts (optional)
- 1) Prepare the broth and salt to boiling point.
- 2) Melt butter in a 2-quart saucepan over medium heat. Stir in noodles and let them brown. Stir frequently to not let butter or noodles burn. Add garlic, onion, mushroom and dill weed. Saute 3 minutes. Stir in rice and saute until it takes on a whitish, non-translucent appearance.
- 2) Pour boiling broth over rice mixture and stir briefly. Cover pan tightly and simmer 25-30 minutes (steam will subside toward end of cooking time). Do not peek.
- 3) Remove pan from heat. Toss pilaf lightly; then cover pan, placing a dry cloth of paper towel between pan and lid to absorb moisture. Let stand 10 minutes (a very important step). Serve topped with pine nuts, if desired.
