For a richer flavor, try using chicken broth instead of water and beef bouillon. To add more texture, consider incorporating other nuts such as chopped pecans or walnuts. Fresh herbs, like thyme or rosemary, can be used in place of dried parsley for a more vibrant taste. Rinsing the rice before cooking removes excess starch, resulting in a fluffier pilaf. Be careful not to over-toast the almonds, as they can burn quickly. Keep a close eye on them while cooking.
