    Wow, I found this recipe in my magazine-alway’s looking for a fresh idea. This recipe rocks! I like all the ingredients, next time I think I will only sautee the onion, garlic, cabbage lightly and leave the other ingredients raw for extra crunch and flavors. This makes alot and if anyone has froze it yet I’d like to know.

    Can you freeze it? I made way too much to eat in one week.

    7 grains is much more interesting than rice alone. Mixture of cooked and uncooked veggies is yummy as is the dressing.

    great recipe! local store didnt carry the pilaf so I used quinoa, whole wheat berries, wild rice, barley, cous cous, and rice. also substituted dried cranberries for the raisins. I shared it with my coworkers and it was a huge success!

    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.

    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. :)

    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.
