This rice dish was very nice with the lovely hint of ginger coriander and basil. The apricot and cashews added for lovely texture. I dont think I would use as much white wine next time, and maybe a bit less of the zest as I found it to be just a tad bit overpowering. Thanks for the recipe

I liked the browning method used in this recipe for the rice and spices. They smelled so good cooking! The resulting rice has a nice, mellow flavor….no one flavor standing out, but a very good side dish to serve with spicier fare. I did add some frozen peas for color. My only suggestion would be to add the salt earlier in the cooking process.

When I saw this recipe, I knew it was a winner in our house. DH loves rice. This is a fragrant rice and easy recipe to put together. It is good either with or without the cashews as the first go I forgot to garnish with the cashews and basil.

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!

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 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!

Very good....I skipped the cashews, but otherwise did everything per recipe. My family really enjoyed it. Thanks very much.
