 Today I’m sharing a company worthy recipe for Mushroom and Toasted Pine Nut Pilaf is simple enough for any night but sure to impress at your next party or holiday.

Mushroom and Toasted Pine Nut Pilaf

Thank you VEETEE RICE for sponsoring this post and making it so easy to get dinner on the table! All opinions are 100% my own. 

I host our family’sThanksgiving dinner at my house every year   It’s a tradition that started several years ago. Because I love to be in the kitchen it’s one of my very favorite times of the year. Another tradition I started when I began hosting Thanksgiving was was each year I make a new recipe to try in addition to all the usual dishes like turkey, green bean casserole and cornbread dressing,

These side dishes include Cranberry Relish which I shared on the blog last year and Ambrosia Salad which I shared a couple years ago. This year I’m making this Mushroom and Toasted Pine Nut Pilaf. It’s a simple dish but it’s going to be perfect accompaniment to the turkey.

Now I know you’re thinking rice pilaf? What’s exciting about that? Well this isn’t just any ordinary, bland rice. Mushroom and Toasted Pine Nut Pilaf is full of great flavors and is just a little bit fancy.

I believe fancy doesn’t have to be complicated. Actually that’s kind of profound; maybe I should cross stitch is on a pillow or maybe t-shirts. Ok, back to the recipe.

This recipe will make enough for about six small portions. Depending on how many friends and family you have around your table you might need to adjust the recipe for more or less.

I started by toasting the pine nuts. There are several ways to do this but I recommend just dropping them into a skillet and cooking over low heat for a few minutes while stirring constantly.

When the nuts become fragrant and golden brown they are done. Keep an eye on the nuts while they are toasting because they can burn quickly. Once the nuts have been toasted set them aside in a bowl.

Then in a stock pot over medium high heat cook onions and mushrooms until tender. Then add the VeeTee Long Grain Rice and frozen peas and cook for about three minutes. Next, pour in chicken stock, butter and pine nuts to mixture bring to a boil. Then reduce heat and simmer for ten minutes stirring occasionally.

Making this Mushroom and Toasted Pine Nut Pilaf with VeeTee Rice really cuts down on cooking time. Let’s face it when your cooking a big meal like Thanksgiving you need a few great shortcuts.

VeeTee Rice is the perfect shortcut because you can stir fry or microwave the rice in just two minutes. Meaning  there’s no need wait for the rice to cook! How can you not love that when your busy cooking so many other dishes for your Thanksgiving feast?
