A Syrian friend gave me this. They got it off the internet because they missed their mom's rice. I wish I knew who to credit.My DH who lived in Lebanon when he was young even says this is like the rice his mom makes, maybe even a little better!

SYRIAN RICE PILAF MIX - JAR MIX



Syrian Rice Pilaf Mix - Jar Mix image

This is based on _The Perfect Mix_ by Diane Phillips modified to suit our family size and preferences. The original recipe was double the size of what I have listed here, but since we are only 3 people, 3 1/2 (ish) cups is just way too much for a side dish for us.
