Pilaf with champignons - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Yes, you can substitute brown rice, but it will require a longer cooking time (about 40-45 minutes) and slightly more water. Adjust accordingly.
Replace butter with olive oil, coconut oil, or a plant-based butter alternative for a dairy-free version.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave with a splash of water.
Yes, this recipe is naturally gluten-free as long as all your seasonings and broth (if used) are certified gluten-free.
Yes, pilaf freezes well for up to 2 months. Thaw in the fridge overnight and reheat with a bit of water to restore moisture.
Stir in cooked chickpeas, lentils, or diced tofu after cooking for a protein boost. Grilled chicken also pairs well.
Replace rice with cauliflower rice. Sauté it separately and mix in at the end to avoid mushiness.
Yes, cremini, shiitake, or oyster mushrooms work well. Adjust cooking time slightly if they release more moisture.
Try paprika, thyme, or a bay leaf while cooking. Fresh parsley or dill add a bright finish when serving.
