This cauliflower rice pilaf is fragrantly spiced with sweet currants and crunchy almonds and pine nuts. The combination is so full-flavored and balanced which makes this pilaf great on its own for lunch. Don’t stop there, though, as it would also be excellent paired with roasted chicken or herbed lamb chops for dinner.
