What a delightful recipe! Such a nice change to wild rice with the little bit of orange zest and cranberries. I used the ingredients listed but changed the cooking method a little. I sauted the rice, almonds and onions in butter until the onions were done. To this I added the cranberries, orange zest and liquid. To this I also added some chicken breasts, covered and baked for 1 hour. The chicken was nice and moist and picked up a nice flavor from the cranberries and orange zest. I will definately make this recipe again!

delicious! I cut the recipe in half. I didn't have any wild rice, so I used 1.5 cups of cooked brown rice. I used frozen cranberries (thawed and halved). I used one onion. I used dried mushrooms and gave them life by cooking them in chicken broth. Altogether, it was great! Now I'm just thinking of a main dish that can go with this.

Way too much orange flavor and ended up being kind of gummy.

This was different from any rice I have ever made & everyone really liked it. The recipe called for too much butter for my taste, so I reduced it to about 1 tbsp.

Very yummy! I used orange-flavoured, sweetened Craisins and eliminated the orange zest. The end result was a bit sweet; I would reduce the sugar next time. Hubby, who usually dislikes wild and brown rice ate this all up. We enjoyed this with roast pork.

I followed the recipe I THOUGHT....but it was not good at all. Not one person in my family would eat it not even my husband who normally will eat anything. I might have done something wrong but I am not willing to attempt this one again!

I loved the combination of flavors and textures. The crunchy almonds really was a nice addition. A great side dish for a lot of meals!

What a great mix of flavors. Goes great with pork!

YUMMY!

This was pretty good! I used 1 cup of brown rice instead of combination of brown & wild rice since I didn't have wild rice. I also omitted the mushrooms (hubby hates them) and the nuts (both kids are allergic). We liked the combination of the rice & onions with the sweetness of the cranberries. I would make this again!

I love this dish. Probably one of my favorite things I have made from this site. Great combination of flavors.

A very good dish to make with turkey or a pork roast. Nice blending of textures, color & flavor - especially appropriate for autumn dinners, I think. I served it alongside a lamb roast, & although it did not compliment the lamb very well ( actually overpowered the delicate taste of the lamb), I could tell it was a keeper on its own. The leftovers went fantastically with a pork roast, & I'll bet turkey would be even better. Pairing it w/lamb was my own blunder. Thanks for sharing a fine recipe!

Nice holiday dish. Can be prepared while roasting turkey or beef and put in crock pot to keep warm til dinner.

Absolutely wonderful! I can keep eating this. The almonds gave a nice crunch. I also cooked them with the rice and used dried cherries as well as the cranberries. So yummy and healthy

I only made one change to this recipe & that was to use all brown basmati rice w/ no wild rice (didn't have any). I did have to add a bit more broth when my rice ran dry & it took longer than 20 minutes to caramelize the onions. I wish I had cooked the almonds in w/ the rice some...they were a little too crunchy for my tastes. Oh, & I did add a bit more orange zest than called for. It looked like there was going to be too little rice ratio but once it was all mixed togther, it was perfect. This was a fabulous dish...loved the addition of cranberries! Thanks Kathy Alexander!

Super Easy Super Good. I did however put the almond slices to cook with the rice making them more tender. I cut the onions into smaller slices (making it a little more kid friendly)and I just dried orange peel instead of the zest. AWESOME reciepe

A very tasty, different recipet. I will use more mushrooms next time, maybe Shiitake.
