Overall, I thought this pilaf was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.

The rice was a bit mushy for my liking. I think I would have preferred it with a bit more bite.

This pilaf was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would have preferred it with fewer dried apricots.

I'm not a huge fan of dried apricots, but I really enjoyed this pilaf. The sweetness of the apricots was balanced out by the savory spices and the pine nuts added a nice crunch. I'll definitely be making this again!

This pilaf is a great way to use up leftover rice. I also like to add some chopped fresh herbs, such as parsley or cilantro, for extra flavor.
