Rice Pilaf

[KenK]

A couple nights ago I made a really delicious and rich rice pilaf with Basmati rice, butter and homemade chicken stock. Ate the leftovers for lunch today except for a couple tablespoons. Just now fed it to the chickens.

They were doing back flips to get it. A couple of the really skittish ones let me get a hand on them while they were pecking the rice out of the other hand. The slightly tamer ones wouldn't even stop pecking when I lifted them up.

I cant wait until my chickies eat up the leftovers from twin toddlers that are picky!

My girls get rice every moring. I buy big (20#) bags of rice, cook up some in my rice cooker for the week. Each morning I microwave a container, just fro ease of getting it out of the container, and they scramble to eat up 2 cups of cooked rice in about 5 minutes time! They love it! I've read that it isn't supposed to have much nutritional value, but probably much of what they eat is that way.

Mine go nut for left over risotto.
The small amount of onions and reduced wine has no effect on egg flavour.
But then risotto is a small and rare treat so not likely to effect flavour anyway.
