Peasant Mushroom Pilaf Recipe

 Peasant Mushroom Pilaf  Recipe is an original Armenian family recipe that I received from a co-worker many years ago.

The basic Pilaf recipe has remained unchanged for generations.  If you are looking for a different side dish for dinner or company , this is it.  This Peasant Mushroom Pilaf recipe incorporates carrots and mushrooms. Great Lenten Recipe.

Pilaf , by definition, is a dish in which rice is cooked in a broth. Depending on ethnic background, the spices and content differ greatly. It is common to the Middle Eastern, African, Asian, Latin American, and Indian cuisines. It is almost always served at celebratory family events. Make your dinner a celebration tonight!  Women over 45 always like a PARTY!

This recipe is very versatile, you can substitute your favorite vegetables or use up your leftovers. I like water chestnuts, almonds, peas, and green onions. Make this a main dish by adding cooked chicken or pork. I play with this all the time and it always tastes great.
