Easy Vegetable Rice Pilaf

This easy vegetable rice pilaf recipe is perfect for when you need a quick, but festive side dish. When I have invited guests for Shabbat and am in a hurry, I serve chicken soup, roast chicken, roast vegetables and this rice pilaf. If there are lots of kids at the table, I use white rice instead of brown rice.
