I think this was great, my husband was a little less enthusastic thus we split the difference and gave it a four. I used fresh basil and used all chicken stock (in place of both of wine and water) but otherwise made as written. Will make again.

Man my whole house smells so wonderful. I made half of this recipe today for lunch and it was amazing! Left out the nuts though - cuz nuts don't eat nuts! thanks Rita!

A good array of flavours happening here, so easy to make too. The lemon uplifts, & I found I could do without the cashews. Served as a side to chicken.

I was searching for a side dish to have with lamb chops and as I like something fruity with lamb I decided upon this rice dish. Easy to prepare and the apricots give it a lovely flavour..the added cashews are a bonus!
