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.
Oh boy this sounds good, I have never tried Kashi’s pilaf, I’ll have to look for it in the store.
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. :)
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?
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 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.
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.
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!
Pilaf is my favorite kind of rice. Sounds somewhat delicious!
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.
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 really love Kashi’s pilaf. It’s so nutty and wholesome. Can’t wait to try the recipe.
mmm this sounds delicious. I forwarded to my husband since he does all the cooking.
