My mother used to make this recipe using Campbell’s Beef Consomme Soup. Well, the days of that much sodium are over for us. Plus, it’s not gluten free. I tried several times to duplicate the recipe without beef consomme (too lazy to make my own). I finally created a gluten free rice pilaf recipe with tons of flavor!
Update – I use Better Than Bouillon “reduced sodium organic” beef base/paste with water. I use more paste than suggested to make the broth so that it provides additional flavor. I use the reduced-sodium organic version. However, it may include cross-contamination nowadays. Always read labels carefully as manufacturers are constantly changing ingredients and sources for same.
Many celiacs do well with this brand of reduced sodium organic beef and chicken base. However, if you have any doubt, choose another brand or boil broth down until it is very strong and flavorful.
Meanwhile, I entitled this recipe “Almost” Famous, because it was famous in my Mom’s house, and eventually in her three daughters’ homes. It may not be famous all over the world , but it may be someday. Mom’s been gone for over a decade, now, but the memory of her cooking lives on in our hearts.
Note: Mom would have a fit if she knew I used instant rice in this recipe. Therefore, see the Tips section for how to make it using long grain rice. I like to use instant rice sometimes because it contains less carbs (without having to soak, pre-boil, and/or rinse several times prior to cooking.
When you need an flavorful, yet fast side dish, try this gluten free rice pilaf recipe. Make it with instant or long grain rice.
