Cranberry And Scallions Pilaf

Sunday lunch is always special because,that is one particular day everyone at home for a delicious meal thus, i always look forward to dish up something special for my loved ones. My girls will be asking what is for lunch over a breakfast table and mom has to be prepared with a list of menu that gonna be on dining table for noon. I cooked cranberry and scallions pilaf on one of those special Sunday

I decided to use dried cranberries in this rice dish but, if you have fresh cranberries by all means go for it. Scallions is what i always have in my fridge and i throw a handful of chopped scallions for the oniony taste.
The sweet and sour cranberries gives the rice an unique flavor and colur. I served it with spicy chicken gravy which goes very well with this pilaf rice.
