Brown Rice Pilaf
To begin with, brown rice pilaf is an excellent side dish for pot roast. It’s simple to prepare, and it goes well with the rich flavors of the roast.
Plus, it’s a healthy option that I can feel good about serving my family.
To make brown rice pilaf, start by sautéing diced onions and garlic in olive oil. Then, add the rice and stir to coat it with the oil. I add chicken or beef broth and bring the mixture to a boil.
After, reduce the heat to low and cover the pot, simmering until the rice is tender and cooked through. Finish it off with some chopped fresh parsley, and serve it alongside the pot roast.
YUM… It’s the perfect side dish!
