Notes
This recipe has become one of our favourites in the winter months. We love the combination of pomegranate juice and harissa powder. Plus it is extremely quick and easy to make.
For the pilaf rice, I just brown some onions and cumin and then add the rice with water in the rice cooker. You can also add some food colouring after the rice has cooked if you want that yellow colour. Let the rice steam for a couple of minutes after adding the colouring and then mix through.
