With Thanksgiving fast approaching (Canadian) I wanted to try this out beforehand. Really yummy healthy ingredients, a festive presentation and fun to put together. It is a dish that could be made the day before and then reheated for the special meal. It's always nice to check something off the to do list early. A nice side dish which really compliments a holiday menu. Thanks.

Fabulous dish! I substituted pecans for the almonds and only used 1 chopped onion. Will definitely make again. Thanks for sharing!

this is a new year's tradition at our house. Complete with a New York Strip and lobster tail this dish goes with just about anything you serve with it. I would recommend this to anyone.

We did not care for this. Too much of a browned flavor. Would have been better not caramelizing the Onions or browning the Almonds since using Brown Rice.

Although a bit more time consuming than I prefer (brown rice just takes a while to cook and there's not a thing you can do about that) this dish is fabulous. Nice and savory with a hint of sweetness and tart. A great way to up the fiber and protien of a mainly carb dish and a nice "gourmet" alternative to plain old rice. My only changes were that I used sliced instead of slivered almonds (purely my mistake while picking up items at the store) and I only used about half of a single onion, finely chopped. Sweetie really doesn't like onions, this way I was able to get some oft he flavor without completely overwhelming him.

I made this rice dish for a Fall Social in 2007. The ladies went crazy over it! Had to give them a copy in our monthly newsletter. Love it!

Delicious! I added grilled turkey to make it a complete meal. Also, note- wild rice is pretty expensive... but good and added an important visual diversity to the dish.

This is one of my favorite ways of preparing rice. It's quite time-consuming but great for when you have need-to-be-impressed company! I used all brown rice and cut the onions down to 2 small, I think more would be too much.

This recipe is fantastic. I followed all of it except using all brown rice because that is what I had on hand. Really great - thanks!!

I loved this! Very tasty. I used more brown rice and less wild rice just because that's my preference. Yummy.

This was really good. I didn't use quite as many onions. Had several people ask for the recipe.

This dish was a hit at Thanksgiving. I for one am not a wild rice fan but this won me over...I will add more cranberries next time.

As some of the other reviewers note, this is a very forgiving recipe. It has a nice flavor and texture because of the nuts. It was easy to make and I was able to substitute items I didn't have from my cupboard. It came out great! I used 1/2 c. pine nuts, 2 c. veggie broth, 1/2 c.jasmine rice, 1/2 wild rice, 3 T. oil (dairy allergy), 1 c. shredded carrots, (no brown sugar), 1/2 c. dried cranberries, 2 c. mushrooms, 1/2 t. orange zest. Thank you Kathy for sharing. It really is a nice dish for company. My family tends to be very "meat and potatoes", but even they enjoyed it, and my vegetarian friends loved it. One of my other guests thought that by adding hamburg, it would be a really good main dish for the meat-eaters!

This rice dish is out standing. I love the texture and the taste. I cut back on the onions a bit. I also accidently bought 'already cooked' wild rice at the store (came in a packet, who knew?). So I just cooked the brown rice alone and then mixed in the wild rice with the rest of the ingredients. I would definitely make this again.

This recipe makes a LOT of dish. I made it for Thanksgiving and everyone raved about it. I omitted the orange zest (I am not a fan) and I used a few chopped pecans rather than almonds. I would make it again. YUM.

This was yummy. Usually I think anything with berries, nuts and then something traditionally non sweet like onions makes for a total "girl" food and I was both surprised and delighted that my husband loved it. I accidentally doubled the rice in the beginning so we had lots of leftovers. I added zuchini just because I had them and it was a nice addition. I also used just brown rice. Fun flavors and very hearty. Thanks for the recipe.
