Rice Pilaf
"A delicious side dish from the Uncommon Gourmet, Ellen Helman. There is no need to buy box mixes when this dish comes together so quickly and tastes wonderfully! This technique is so basic that you can omit the vermicelli and pine nuts and try your own combination of herbs/spices, veggies and nuts. Enjoy the tasty original or have fun experimenting!"
