Parsleyed Rice Pilaf Recipe. CanningUSA.COM - A great place to learn home canning!

Parsleyed rice is the perfect accompaniment for
Porto Veal Stew. It tastes best when it is made
fresh. We start cooking it 30 minutes sitting down
for the first course. The secret to successful rice
(rice that is not sticky) is not to remove the
saucepan cover during the 20 minutes that the rice
steams ! Note: Cooking times vary based on
elevation and your stovetop element.
