mmm this sounds delicious. I forwarded to my husband since he does all the cooking.
I really love Kashi’s pilaf. It’s so nutty and wholesome. Can’t wait to try the recipe.
I would love to try this recipe. I often get frustrated because it’s hard to find Kashi here in my city. We don’t have a Whole Foods here. I wish we did.
I made it using buckwheat because I can’t find the Pilaf around here. It was really good, but would be great with the pilaf because the flavors would mix better. I think it needs to be a bit spicier. We added lime juice and ate it with plain yogurt. Highly recommended.
Pilaf is my favorite kind of rice. Sounds somewhat delicious!
This recipe was great! I cut it in half because it made so much. I usually don’t like cooked raisins but it added some sweetness to this hardy recipe. Delicious!
Concerning the availability of Kashi’s 7 Whole Grain Pilaf, my neighborhood supermarket carries it. With the prevalence of eating healthy expanding, you may find a larger variety of Kashi products in your local supermarket.
I halved this recipe and WOW, it’s delicious!! The final pilaf is comprised a various colors and textures, providing great moth feel. I did make some changes. I replaced snow peas for the red cabbage, since my supermarket was out of red cabbage, and I wanted to make this pilaf, TODAY!! I don’t know what evaporated cane crystals are, but thinking it was in the sugar family, I used granulated sugar. My only complaint is the red pepper flakes. I would use less then the recipe calls for.
This recipe is delicious, hot or cold! I also did not find evaporated cane crystals and used a little sugar..and actually bumped up the hot pepper flakes. I halved the recipe and it still makes a big bowl. Can’t wait to entertain w/ this recipe this summer!
I’m on my way to the store right now for the ingredients….this sounds fabulous & its healthy who could ask for a better combo?
So good! Especially when Dia and I made it on the Kashi Day of Change Tour 2007! I ate it every day we were on the job, promoting Kashi and not once did I get sick of it. That’s for 7 months! Wow! Yum. Thanks, Jeff. :)
Oh boy this sounds good, I have never tried Kashi’s pilaf, I’ll have to look for it in the store.
Evaporated cane juice crystals is pure sugar right from the cane. The water is evaporated. It’s the only sugar I use. Leaves the most nutrients and flavor in it. Yummmmy.
