The pilaf was a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add more herbs and spices next time.

This couscous and bulgur pilaf was a delightful dish! The combination of the two grains gave it a unique texture and flavor profile. I especially enjoyed the addition of the toasted pine nuts and dried cranberries, which added a nice crunch and sweet
