Comments
This is especially good with a cold crisp salad of greens with mandarin oranges and walnuts and a sweet vinaigrette and a light flavorful yeast recipe of a grits muffin!

Pilau is a Southeastern US dish. I got this recipe from a Savannah, GA friend who swears it is the Soul Food of Savannah! Don't mention that to my friend from Charleston, SC!! She will fight you for the rights to authentic Pilau too!
