I was disappointed with this almond rice pilaf. The rice was overcooked and the almonds were soggy. The spices were also not well-blended and gave the dish an unpleasant flavor. I would not recommend this recipe.

Meh. The pilaf was okay, but nothing special. The almonds were a nice touch, but the spices were a bit too strong for my taste.
