Rice with Almonds and Peas

I think we'd have liked this better if we had a protein dish that had a sauce to go with it.  As it was, this was not very flavorful and kind of dry.  I even added some garlic powder but it didn't seem to help much.  I have better CL rice side dishes so I'll stick with those. 

My rice could've cooked a little longer, but it was still delicious.  Served with with tilapia fish and roasted red pepper sauce pictured with rice.  Great meal.
