This recipe is from the new cookbook ‘Kidney Friendly Cooking’ produced by the Canadian Association of Nephrology Dietitians. The pilaf pairs well with chicken or pork.

- 2 tbsp (30 mL) margarine, non-hydrogenated
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 1 ¾ cup (425 mL) chicken broth, no salt added
- 2 tbsp (30 mL) parsley, fresh, chopped
*For vegetarian rice pilaf use no salt added vegetable broth instead of chicken broth.
1. In a pot over medium heat cook the rice, margarine and onion until the rice is a golden colour. Stir frequently.
2. Add chicken broth and bring to a boil.
3. Reduce heat to low and cover. Simmer until rice until tender and fluffy (15 to 20 minutes).
