Rice pilaf with cheese
Description
The recipe won't take much time. A wonderful and very popular Eastern dish—pilaf. This aromatic rice dish is so delicious that today it's cooked all around the world. Today I want to prepare cheese pilaf, which reminds me a bit of Spanish risotto. The pilaf has a delicate, creamy flavor, while bright spices will add spiciness and an Eastern touch to this dish. The result is a kind of fusion. Anyway, instead of talking about it, try it yourself—you'll understand everything. Serve hot.
