Comments: Amazingly delicious! Pine nuts are the yum! We had this with bismati rice, but it would also be wonderful in place of falafel, on pita with tahini! I just added a little ranch dressing to my rice since we didnt have tahini at the time, and while not the same, it certainly proved to me that the pilotas would be excellent with such a sauce.
