Mushroom Pilaf
While combing through my grandmother’s recipes, I ran across something I hadn’t seen since childhood. Wishing to revive my memories of Sunday dinners past, I prepared what Grandma called her “pretty pilaf.” I should have doubled the recipe! Not only was it a hit, it was just as I remembered it back in Waukegan, Illinois, where I grew up.6-8 ServingsPrep: 10 min. Cook: 30 min. + standing
