Broccoli & Bacon Pilaf
Pilaf is traditionally a dish in which a grain, such as rice or cracked wheat, is browned in oil, and then cooked in a seasoned broth. This is a one pot dish, should take 20 -25 mins to make and very filling. To create a vegetarian version of this dish, simply omit the bacon.
