For a nut-free version, substitute the pine nuts with sunflower seeds or pepitas. Experiment with different types of raisins, such as golden or sultana, for a varied flavor profile. Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a touch of heat. This dish pairs wonderfully with grilled chicken, roasted vegetables, or as a base for a vibrant salad.
