This recipe is the best. I catered a church banquet and made this as a side dish. I made the recipe as follows wit the exception of 1 thing. i used sliced almonds instead of hazelnuts. This is definitely a family favorite:)

This was sooo yummy! Now, I hate when people rave about something even though they changed it, but I confess...I changed it a bit. However, I only did so because I didn't have some of the ingredients. I didn't have hazelnuts, so I substituted pecans...it was yummy; and I didn't have orzo, so I broke up spaghetti into aprox. 1inch pieces...worked just as well. Good recipe! Thanks for sharing :)

My family really enjoyed this dish. They loved the texture abd flavors. I was out of celery, so I just added additional mushrooms.

Awesome recipe... I only used rice as I didn't have orzo but otherwise followed exactly. Great the next day too!

This is a great recipe, even if I didn't have all the ingredients. I doubled the rice in place of orzo and skipped the mushrooms because we were out, and added garlic. Don't forget the garlic! It was great!

Good stuff! Though I'd love to try it without so much butter! I cooked it 10 minutes longer because it was so crunchy, but that didn't take away all the crunch. I guess pilafs are supposed to be crunchy. Didn't use any hazelnuts

This was really good. Definitely a keeper. Changes: I ended up halving the butter and cutting in hazelnut oil, since I had it on hand and I didn't have any hazelnuts. Couldn't really taste the hazelnut though. I think I might try it again with only hazelnut oil. I also substituted the marjoram with oregano.
