I read the reviews, and added 1/3rd the amount of dill required. I also cooked it on the stovetop in the interests of time. It turned out well, and I'd make it again.

Reading other reviews, I was worried that the dill might end up being too strong, but my boyfriend and I both thought it was perfect. I changed the recipe slightly by cooking it in a rice cooker instead of baking and adding a little extra lemon juice (as I didn't have a fresh lemon for the zest) as well as a few dashes of garlic powder. I'll definitely be making this again!

This is great! I love the burst of lemon flavor! I did cut down on the dill. Also, since i didn't want to wait for rice to cook I made couscous instead. I added the lemon to the water before adding the couscous and added the dill as the couscous steamed. I paired it with Lemon Garlic tilapia that I found on this site. Great combo. Will definitely make it again!

This was delicious with the Broiled Scallops recipe. Next time less salt and more zest!

I just spent a half hour searching for my printed copy of this recipe and couldn't find it which is why I researched for this dish and decided to rate it. This dish is so incredibly different from traditional rice dishes, so if your tired of the same ol, same old rice dish, you gotta try this. The moisture content is incredible and it goes amazingly well with lemon chicken. The flavors of the onion and lemon make the dish pop and will definitely have people asking how u made it!!!

I really like the taste and texture of this dish. It was everything that I thought it would be. I cut the recipe in half for us. I didn't have any lemon zest or parsley, and it was still great.

after reading the reviews I was on this I was a little skeptical in making it as is so I modified it. This is what I did. I used basmati rice, sauted 2 whole cloves of garlic with the onion, added 2 cups of chicken broth and then 2 cups of water I did not add the salt and only added 1 tsp of dill it turned out perfect, what I did not ,modify I keep the same. this was good served with the lemon garlic chicken on this site. it's 5 stars with modifications. I know I don't like either when people modify things, but I felt I had too with all the bad reviews

I thought this would be very good with a fish dish. Reading other reviews, I reduced the amount of dried dill weed to 1 teaspoon and it still overpowered the dish. My husband couldn't even eat it. Also, I took other's advice and cooked on the stove-top due to time. While the reduced dill was still very strong for me (a dill lover), I think the dish has potential. The lemon zest topping was great and I liked the idea of cooking it in lemon juice. If you are unsure of the dill flavor, start with a small amount, you can always increase it but you can't remove it. I served this with Broiled Tilapia Parmesan (Yummy!) from this site and Roasted Asparagus. I even took some leftover lemon zest and topped the asparagus and fish, which was a very good addition.

It was ok, nothing more than that simply because the suggested amount of dill weed and lemon zest was overboard. Too tangy for my taste.

Baking it was a bad idea. I had to continue adding liquids and the rice still came out crunchy. Otherwise the flavors were good. Next time I'll just make it stovetop. I served it w/ poached salmon with lemon juice and capers. Overall it was pretty tasty and different.

Not too shabby. The dill flavor was a bit strong for me, but my guests liked it. It was a pretty good accompaniment for grilled salmon.

This was a very interesting dish. It had a pleasant taste and we all enjoyed it. Was really easy to fix and inexpensive. I will serve again, but not a regular on the menu. Better than 3 stars maybe 3.75 stars. Worth trying again for something different.

I really liked this recipe. I did not use all the dill I only used 4 teaspoons of dill in stead of the 2 tablespoons it called for. I also reduced the salt to one teaspoon.

I took the advice of other reviewers and reduced salt but substituted Herbamare aromatic sea salt (with orgganic herbs) and instead of dill seed I used 1/4 dried dill weed and it doesn't overpower the flavour. The dried dill weed can be increased to one's taste. A little garlic powder also helped.
