This was absolutely delicious!! I did not change a thing (although I only had a half pound of mushrooms. I could not stop eating it. This is a healthy dish, hearty enough to stand on it's own, and it makes great use of leftover rice (I used brown. I also appreciate the versatility (add in cooked meat, carrots, leeks, kale, tofu, dried herbs, exotic mushrooms, etc, expanding the definition of pilaf. This is a keeper.
