In this recipe, we show a quick method for preparing delicious rice pilaf. If you skip the rice soaking step, it becomes almost as quick as preparing a simple pasta dish. Use a good stock and your family or guests will think you have been labouring for hours in the kitchen. To make the rice more appealing and delicious, top it with a Somali rice topping or a carrot and raisin topping.
This rice goes well with many meat dishes such as shish taouk, beef kebabs, braised lamb, cubed chicken, fried fish, roasted chicken drumsticks, chicken stew, roasted lamb, chicken steak, thin-sliced beef steak, suqaar, as well as the vegetable dishes we posted before.
Sometimes, we do not bother with any of those other dishes. Serve with a simple green salad, peel a banana, and dig in.
