This pilaf was a bit bland for my taste, but I think that's just a matter of personal preference. It was still a well-made dish.

I've tried many pilaf recipes, but this one is by far the best. The secret is in the use of fresh herbs and spices.

I made this last night and it was a big hit with my family. The only thing I would change is to use a bit less cumin, as it was a bit overpowering for our taste.
