I love, love, love this recipe!! I have only given it 4 stars because the given quantity of ingredients for the filling results in way too much left-overs. To make 12 mushrooms, i diced only 6 of the stems, and then used 1/4 of the remaining ingredients. This made the perfect amount of filling for 12. I also sprinkled the tops with freshly grated parmesan cheese for the last couple minutes of baking. Will make again and again!!

Although i modifed this recipe to suit the ingredients i had in my kitchen, i would rate it a 5 based on my version. I used Uncle Ben's Long Grain Perfection rice, which has a cooking time of only 10 minutes, and used 1 cup rice and 2 cups of broth to equal 6 servings. I kept the amounts for the remaining ingredients the same, while omitting the salt altogether. I used toasted pecans in place of almonds, and dried cranberries instead of the raisins, and will definitely do the same next time, both for taste and appearance. The dish got rave reviews, and everyone had seconds.

Have tried at least 6 other banana bread recipes in searching for the perfect one - and this is a keeper! So moist and delicious. Adding 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips was a nice touch.
