Today’s Caramelized Onion Apricot Rice Pilaf was conceived as an alternative Easter side to the usual scalloped potatoes. I have since seen the error of my ways and realized that this pilaf shouldn’t be in place of anything. This is a “Yes, and!” situation. You can have your pilaf and your potatoes and eat them too. But I will say that if you plan on serving lamb as your Easter main, I think this pilaf will complement its flavours a little more. I often think of scalloped potatoes as ham’s most natural companion. But why pit two stellar sides against each other when you don’t have to?
