PILAF



PILAF

 

Hi and welcome to our vegetarian kitchen. Autumn is here but this dish is from the "Med". This week our recipe is "PILAF" which is served in many countries on the "Med" but ours, of course, will be vegetarian. "PILAF" is rice, usually cooked in meat stock with the addition of meat and vegetables. We use Quorn "Chicken style pieces". It is a complete meal which only requires a side salad to accompany this.
