Great Grain Pilaf

By: Joyce Graves 
"Bored with boiled rice? Try this fun pilaf from Joyce Graves of Sterling Heights, Michigan. 'This pilaf is mild tasting and a great way to include fiber in your diet,' writes Joyce. 'Because I like experimenting with different grains, I buy at a bulk food store. Being able to purchase just the amount you need for a recipe is a real advantage.'"
