Turkish Pilav (Rice)

I've seen many varying dishes of rice in Turkey, all of them quite good, so this is just one of many. This variation has a good taste, but because the flavor isn't too bold it makes an easy side dish to most meals. Afiyet Olsun!

• Ready In: 20 mins
• Serves: 4

Ingredients

• 1  cup white rice
• 4  tablespoons brown rice or 4  tablespoons  noodles
• 3  tablespoons  oil
• 1 1⁄2 cups hot water
• 1  chicken bouillon cube
•  vegetable seasoning

Directions

1. Over high heat, add oil and brown rice to pan.
2. Cook until rice is browned well (will look dark, almost burnt -- if using noodles, they will look slightly burnt).
3. Mix in water, white rice, and boulion cube (for easier mixing, break cube first).
4. Sprinkle a small amount of vegetable seasonsing over the mixture (amount depending on desired taste -- I would guess about 0.5 to 1 TBSP max). Stir.
5. Turn heat to medium and cover.
6. Occasionally stirring the rice, cook until tender (water will be gone before rice is done).
