Flavoured rice is not just a perfect pair to meat dishes. It is the preferred filling for baked savoury puffs, because it's dry and its flavour adds up to the taste of the meat, poultry or fish being baked. Pilaff is one of our favourite and when used as a filling, we call it a one whole pocketed meal!
So here we go--
