Miso Garlic Mushroom Pilaf

Miso Garlic Mushroom Pilaf

This did not last long around here! I may have to make a double batch next time!
Pilafs make great side dishes or even light meals. What makes a Pilaf is cooking the Rice with Broth and / or Veggies, so the flavor begin there. This is an easy recipe and can be made with any additional veggies or change up the almonds for walnuts or pumpkin seeds. Be creative!
