HERBED RICE WITH DATES AND POMEGRANATE
This side dish is simple to prepare but tastes far from plain-making it a great choice for accompanying a holiday roast like lamb or beef. Fragrant ginger, dill, and dates add aroma and texture to simple white rice, while a generous sprinkling of ruby red pomegranate seeds and delicate pistachios add festive flair and a burst of fresh acidity to the finished rice.
