Nutty Brown Rice Pilaf image

The pine nuts add the nutty flavour while the raisins bring a sweetness to the rice. I found this recipe in Canadian Living and it has become a staple. I wasn't a fan of brown rice until now. Try different brands as they do make a difference in texture and flavour, and the time for cooking can vary. Be careful when adding the pinch of cinnamon that a pinch is all you add or the flavour can be overpowering. Great as left overs.

Just made this recipe and it turned out great! The rice was cooked perfectly and the flavors were spot on. I used vegetable broth instead of chicken broth and it was still delicious. Will definitely be making this again!
