Simple Rice Pilaf

You can be a be as creative as you want or make it very simple.
If you want other flavors you can add toasted nuts, raisins, sauteed
mushrooms, green peas, carrots or chopped fresh herbs. This can be cooked
in a oven but I put mine in a rice cooker. When you get to the part to add water and broth I just put everything in the cooker and cook at normal white rice setting.
