Vegetarian pilaf with mushrooms
Description
Here is a simple recipe for vegetarian pilaf with mushrooms. In the traditional pilaf recipe, meat is essential. Since our pilaf is vegetarian, meat is replaced with mushrooms. Believe me, it turns out just as delicious! Spices and garlic give the dish an incredible aroma! I recommend cooking it in a cauldron (kazan) or a wok. Good luck!
