Tips
A nice way to plate pilafs is to form them on the dinner plate next to the main feature of the meal. To do this, butter a ramekin on the bottom and on the sides. When the rice is done, spoon the rice into the prepared ramekin and press the rice down to "pack" it in. Invert the ramekin over the plate and tap the top. The rice should easily slide out of the ramekin in a nice molded shape.
