🥛MilkSwaps and substitutions
For a pork-free option, use chicken or turkey sausage if the original sausage blend is avoided. To suit dairy-free diets, skip the cheese or replace it with a plant-based hard cheese; for tree-nut allergy, omit the pistachios.
What to serve with it
Serve with a simple green salad or roasted broccoli to balance the rich, savory rice. Warm crusty bread and an extra squeeze of lemon make it feel complete without overpowering the herbs and sausage.
