This rice dish is a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables. The pine nuts and cilantro add a fun and flavorful twist that kids love. I usually serve it with grilled chicken or fish, but it's also great on its own.

I'm not a huge fan of cilantro, but I decided to try this recipe anyway. I'm so glad I did! The pine nuts and spices were so flavorful that the cilantro was barely noticeable. I'll definitely be making this again.
