Deliverable

I made African Safari Pilaf tonight. (Found via the Healthy Hillbilly Housewife by way of this really good blog post on eating more meals at home). I honestly have no idea what a pilaf is, but it ended up tasting pretty good. There weren’t any vegetables so in the future I’d probably have to add a side of something green. Looks to be a recipe I could tweak out a variety of different ways. It called for “beef broth powder”, which I assume meant beef bouillon because I couldn’t find any beef broth powder in the store. I skipped that, cause it looked like it had a ton of salt. The recipe originally called for ginger but I accidentally added curry instead. Didn’t seem to be a problem.

In the future I could also probably cut back on the amount of ground beef. I stuck to the prescribed one pound but I think it overpowered the rice somewhat. Also another note to self: The amount of water they suggest with brown rice never seems to be enough. I could probably have safely used 3 1/2 cups. The next time I’d also season the ground beef more when I was cooking it.

I’d try this again.
