A little heavy on the spices, I would scale back on the turmeric and cumin next time or just add more rice to the pot. It took more like 1 hr to prepare. Also, I can't eat onions or MSG (migraines) so I used 4 cups Progresso Tuscany chicken broth, and just omitted the onion. I had ground ginger from another recipe so I didn't buy fresh; I doubt it made a difference. It's wonderful served with harira (soup) and warm batbout (pitas). Everyone complimented me on it when I brought it to Bible study!

It had a weird flavor that didn't seem to be as good as all the ingredients that went into it. The citrus flavor really came through, if that's what your goal is.

This was really, really good served with roasted lamb. I think it would be good with chicken too! Next time, I'll make sure I have "instant" brown rice, or use basmati, the cooking time will be much less than the 45 minutes it took to cook regular brown rice! I may try adding a little heat with some red pepper flakes. Overall, this was great!
