Real Pilaf tasteSep 28, 2009

My husband loves rice pilaf. The problem with making it from a boxed product in the past is that the flavoring is usually too much and too strong.
I did not have that problem with this version of Rice a Roni. The taste was spot on. It was not too strong and the rice actually cooked up nicely.
The only recommendation I do make is that you follow the box directions for the most part except you should add at leat a half a cup more water than they recommend. If you don't the rice will dry out before it is completely done cooking.
 Rice A Roni Rice PilafFeb 18, 2012

As much as I'm a fan of cooking everything from scratch, I am definitely not above using a boxed meal every once in awhile. Sometimes you just don't have the energy or ambition to cook something from scratch, especially rice, which if you don't have a rice cooker, can be time consuming and difficult. So Rice a Roni products are ok to me, used in moderation.
The ingredients, for a boxed meal, aren't terrible. There is MSG unfortunately and a very high level of sodium. Which means this probably isn't the best meal for someone with health problems, or for that matter anyone trying to be healthy. But it does have real onions, rice, and other spices which is ok. I like that they use turmeric for the coloring since that's supposed to be a pretty good spice for you. The fat content in this rice box isn't too bad either compared to some of its competitors out there.
The cooking process is pretty simple as well. Even if you use a microwave its just a matter of zapping it a few times to brown the rice and then cooking it with water. And you only dirty one bowl and one spoon in the process. It says to cover with something during the actual cooking process and I've found that covering with a towel tends to produce a more tender rice, but that may just be my imagination. They offer suggestions on how to make this rice a meal by adding chicken and veggies too, although I didn't do that, I instead sauteed some pieces of sausage in a maple mustard and added them to the mix, which actually worked quite well.
The rice itself is kind of light flavored. There's some flavoring sure, kind of chickeny actually. But its not very strong, and I prefer my meals strong. The flavor was good, I just wish it was more pronounced. Adding that aforementioned sausage did help a bit. The texture was enjoyable. The rice was just firm enough to get a good bit through it but soft enough to really sink your teeth into. And it wasn't a mushy mess like these can sometimes turn out to be.
I'd probably have this product again. Its not something I'd make a regular part of my meal, but in a pinch its a good way to fill out dinner.
