Pro tip

Add a little extra salt to the water when you cook rice -- the water should taste just a little saltier to you than you want the final dish to be. This will ensure your rice is perfectly seasoned.

Recipe FAQ

Can I make this rice pilaf with brown rice" Yes, but increase cooking time to 45 minutes for brown rice, and also increase the amount of water from 4 cups to 6 cups. Can I make this recipe in the Instant Pot" Absolutely. Saute the garlic and leeks in the liner on the saute mode of the Instant Pot, then add the rice, saute until opaque and add water and salt. Close the IP lid and set to pressure cook for 10 minutes. You can let the pressure release manually or force-release 10 minutes after cooking is complete. Can I add more veggies to the pilaf" Green peas would be great here, as would grated carrots. Replace a portion of the leeks with the other veggies.
