Lebanese Riced Cauliflower Casserole

This recipe is a modified version of my mom's casserole recipe. Fun fact: I hated this recipe as a kid, but I love it now. Maybe it was the nuts or the spinach, both of which I love now. Feel free to use whatever nuts you have on hand; here I used chopped pine nuts, but almonds or pistachios would work great. Feel free to use brown rice (1 cup dry, 185 g) instead of cauliflower rice
