This is a favorite of all my grandchildren, but I left out the MSG. Great post.

This is perfect with Red Meat especially Lamb or fish, a great all around side dish.

Although I do not know what MSG stands for, it is similar to the rice pilaf we make in Cyprus. The same recipe is made as well with bulgur wheat, which I have posted, if you would like to have a look at it.
