The Greek Pilaf is a basic way of preparing rice as a filling for
grape leaves, artichokes, or Greek-style eggplant. It is delicious
enough to serve by itself also, or as an accompaniment to sauteed
vegetables or baked fish.
Saute the vegetables until onions are soft. Then mix with the pilaf
ingredients.
