Pilaff, also known as pilaf, is a flavorful rice dish with roots in Middle Eastern, Central Asian, and South Asian cuisines. Prepared by simmering rice in broth, pilaff often incorporates a mix of vegetables, herbs, and spices for rich taste, along with proteins such as chicken, lamb, or seafood. Common additions include onions, garlic, carrots, and sometimes nuts or dried fruits for added texture and sweetness. Nutritionally, pilaff is a source of complex carbohydrates and can offer a balance of protein and fiber depending on its ingredients. However, variations using refined white rice and rich oils may be less nutrient-dense compared to versions made with whole-grain rice or lean protein options. Pilaff’s versatility makes it adaptable to dietary preferences, serving as a wholesome meal when prepared with health-conscious ingredients.
