Turkish Pilaf

Sweet, spicy rice dishes with nuts and fruit; Middle Eastern food is some of the absolute best. This is a simple pilaf with sultanas (raisins) and toasted pistachio nuts and sweet spices. I got the idea for this dish from a Lamb pilaf and substituted the lamb for roasted eggplant balls (recipe here). Although they take a little extra effort to make the roasted eggplant really adds a further delicious element to this simple dish. Falafel would work just as well (recipe here) or if you’re short on time simply add tinned chickpeas instead. Hearty, delicious and vegan, serve up this for a special Meatless Monday meal.
