This was great with Huli Huli chicken! We loved the flavors together very much. The crunch from the almonds made a nice texture to the pilaf. Saving to have again with other meats .

Good flavors enough to make it again! The only thing I would do different is possibly use a little less lime juice, because there was a bit of a pucker, but not too, too much. Thank you Mikekey for sharing. Made it for Pick Me Tag.

This is a wonderfully zingy pilaf. It was the perfect counterpoint to the sweet and spicy chicken we made for supper with its citrus flavor. The slivered almonds were a nice contrast texturally and flavor-wise. Made during Alphabet Tag Game. Thanks for another great recipe, Mikekey!
