“Made this homemade version of rice pilaf last night, not only was it delicious and fresh my chef son said it is much better than any that he has had. It does not take any longer to make this than the box stuff! I did not use instant rice and added orzo and som” — a cook, 5.0★
“First, a question. Recipe says serves 4, but a serving size is 1/2 cup? I get 4 full cups out of this once cooked. So, actually serves 8? I assume 1/4 of the recipe isn’t 87 calories. Right? Second, my review. LOVE this! I use orzo (per another’s suggestion)” — a cook, 5.0★
