I gave this 5 stars because I was able to "play" with it a little. I decided to try and make it in my rice cooker instead of a dutch oven. I was also missing several of the ingredients, but even with subs. it came out great. First, I sauteed the onion, then added 3 spoons of chicken base to the onion and 1 cup of water, cashews and simmered. I put 3 c. rice in my cooker, added the onion/water and then added two more cups of water. Didn't have raisins, and had to sub a bag of frozen peas and carrots, didn't have onion salt so omitted that. Threw everything but the green onions in the rice cooker and pushed the start button. In no time I had a lovely steamed rice pilaf, added gr. onion just prior to serving as recipe suggested. This was a great addition to my meal of BBQ chicken, marinated tomatoes, baked beans, corn on cob... super summer meal addition!!

This was okay. Everyone picked out the raisins, as it gave it an akward flavor. It seemed to take too much effort for the outcome.

I made this with some modifications and it was still very tasty! I left out the carrots and peas and used sliced almonds (toasted in a dry pan) instead. Next time I will saute the onions briefly first and then add the rice, as I felt the rice was burning and the onions did not have sufficient time to cook. I could not find wild rice, and while I think that would add to the flavor, it did not affect the overall outcome of the dish. Will definitely make again.

This recipe was not only delicious but very easy to make. I used Minute Rice and doubled up on the amount since I didn't have any wild rice and just let it cook for 5 minutes and it still turned out great. Even my daughter who is a picky eater ate a huge serving. I also chopped up the raisins and crushed the cashews to make it easier for my kids to try. I will definately make this one again. Thanks.

I made this recipe without using the carrots and peas. I also used a wild rice mix rather than plain white rice. This was very, very good, and I will be making it again! Thank you for a great recipe!

This is a delicious side dish and goes very well with the Baked Halibut Steaks by Dakota Kelly. I only left out the raisins, this dish is super colorful and very tasty! Thanks for the recipe.

I cooked this rice for my husband and I tonight and we had it as our main course because we aren't eating meat right now. I tweeked it a bit using vegetable oil instead of butter, omitting the peas, and using only plain white uncooked rice (I live in a country where you can't by the long grain or wild rice varieties). I began by sauteing the uncooked rice with the carrots, onion, and raisins until browned, added the broth and spices boiled, simmered, and then added the cashews and green onion at the end. It was a wonderful dish that we both loved (although my husband said it was a little on the sweet side). I thought it was very tasty! Thanks for the recipe!
