Aromatic, warm spices like cinnamon and cumin mixed with the sweetness of dried fruit and nuts give this sweet-and-savory pilaf its hit of Moroccan flavor. Serve it with baby bone-in lamb chops or grilled, flavored tempeh for a delicious, vegetarian meal. Leftover pilaf can be retooled in myriad ways. It is delicious spooned into hollowed-out sweet bell peppers and baked as a delicious dinnertime side dish. Try it reheated and topped with a fried egg for a savory whole-grain breakfast. Make lean ground meat go farther by mixing it with leftover pilaf before forming into meatballs to cook. The meatballs are great atop spiralized vegetables or dropped in a steaming bowl of vegetable broth.
