Yield 4 Servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

1/2 cup arils from 1 large POM Wonderful Pomegranate
1 6 oz. package rice pilaf mix
1/2 cup sliced green onions

(Refrigerate or freeze remaining arils for another use.) 2. In medium saucepan, prepare rice mix according to package directions. Stir in pomegranate arils, green onions, pine nuts and cheese during last 5 minutes of cooking. Tip: To toast pine nuts, arrange in even layer on baking sheet.

This rice pilaf was so easy to make and it turned out so delicious! I used a mix of brown and white rice, and added some extra vegetables like carrots and celery. It was the perfect side dish for my roasted chicken.
