Power to the Pilaf

If you are planning for a year, sow rice; if you are planning for a decade, plant trees; if you are planning for a lifetime, educate people.
- Chinese Proverb

A universal grain that's grown on 6 different continents, there is deep significance to be found in the grains of rice. To bring this significance to our table, we created a rice pilaf, with a unique twist.

Here's the recipe:
