Author Notes

Cinco de Mayo is coming. This simple rice pilaf makes a great side dish for grilled meats, and it is vegan so it can work as a hearty dish foe those who don't eat meat. I love the smooth flavor that the Tomato Bliss Green & Yellow Heirloom tomatoes give the dish. It is not spicy, so it will suit most people's palates. I like extra spicy so trust me I have a bottle of hot sauce just out of frame for later..

The farmers market in Pleasantville, New York had wild garlic available so I used that but you could use plain garlic just as easily.
