I found this in the book Better Homes and Gardens FOOD FOR HEALTH AND HEALING in the Books-a-million store. I just LOVE that store. If only I could put wheels under the store and take it to Oman with me when I leave on the 15th of July...SIGH! I am going to miss America so much, it's just breaking my heart to leave from this beautiful green country. Anyways, please do enjoy the pilaf that I found so very interesting and hope to try very soon! Ingredients:
