Rice Cooker Pilaf With Brown Rice, Lentils, and Wild Rice

People talking
This is a quick and easy pilaf with my favorite spice--cardamom! If you don't have cardamom on hand, you can omit it--the pilaf is still delicious without it. I improvised it one evening when I was short of canned chicken broth and time. I like the recipe because it combines two of my favorite rices with lentils. The lentils add protein. The dish is a perfect accompaniment to chicken baked with a generous sprinkling of cardamom.

- 1 teaspoon ground cardamom
- 3 teaspoons chicken bouillon granules
directions

This is ridiculously good, especially in winter. The cardamom gives it a rich warmth. I am using a Zojirushi rice cooker (with induction), so I modify it as follows: Put 1 1/2 Zoji cups brown jasmine rice and 1/2 Zoji cup wild rice in cooker. (Zoji cups are smaller than US cups, equivalent to about 3/4 C) Add water to the 2 cup brown rice line. Then add the rest of the ingredients exactly as listed above. I use soup base in place of the bouillon, but either should be fine.2Reply
