Rice Pilaf with Pine Nuts

This elegant rice pilaf with pine nuts is a versatile, dairy-free side dish that brings a sophisticated touch to any meal. By gently sautéing the onions and coating the grains in oil before simmering, you achieve a wonderfully fluffy texture and a subtle, savoury depth. The addition of toasted pine nuts provides a delightful crunch and a nutty aroma that elevates the humble long-grain rice into something truly special.

Perfect for pairing with roast chicken, grilled fish, or Mediterranean-style vegetables, this recipe is a reliable staple for those seeking a light yet satisfying accompaniment. Because it uses simple store-cupboard ingredients and minimal prep time, it is an ideal choice for busy weeknights when you want a homemade dish that feels a little more refined than plain boiled rice.
