This was sooo good. I made it for Christmas for myself as an alternative for stuffing. It was wonderful. My mom loved it and practically ate half of the bowl. I will make this over and over again. I used olive oil instead of butter and splenda half and half brown sugar and it came out perfect! Thanks for this recipe.

Excellent!!!! DH and I loved this dish. The combination of flavors was wonderful. I substituted vegetable oil for the butter but other than that made the recipe exactly according to the directions. I'll definitely be making this again. Chia, thanks for posting this delicious recipe!

Great rice! I made this as part of a special birthday dinner, but had to leave out the cranberries because of someone's (not mine!) unreasonable dislike of fruit in savory dishes. I did managed to sneak in the orange zest, and the pecans were a hit!

Very very delicious rice dish that went well with our roast chicken and green beans almondine. I was pleasantly surprised that the brown rice and the wild rice cooked together so perfectly, since I'd never combined them before. I love wild rice and will definitely be making it with brown rice again in different variations. The orange zest was a nice touch. I think I have posted a similiar recipe, Chia, so our taste in food is once again confirmed.

Oooh, what a wonderful dish, Chia! It was simple enough to make, even though it was my first time to caramelize onions. I wasn't sure if the berries and onions were supposed to be mixed in or just on top, but put them over the top so dh could pick them off if he didn't like it. ;o) But he loved it and had seconds, which is rare for him. There was a bit left over, minus the onions; it was just as good if not perhaps a bit better the next day, as the flavors had a chance to mingle. We use a lot of wild rice and brown rice and this is one of my very favorite recipes so far ~ thanks!

This was probably the best rice dish I have ever made. We just LOVED it. I used only brown rice instead of the combination and left off the orange zest and it was still wonderful. Served it alongside some chicken schnitzel and broccoli kugel. I will definately make this again, even though it takes a bit of work. Thanks Chia!

I was drawn to this recipe for it's uniqueness. Very good! I made these variations...1 TBS grated orange peel , 1 TBS grated lime peel, only 1/2 onion (red), and used olive oil, no butter. Thank you for this original festive recipe! ***It can also easily be made into a vegetarian recipe, by using vegetable stock...which I forwarded to all of my vegetarian friends!***-- posted Nov 5, 2005

The slightly-shortened cooking time leaves the rice pleasantly crunchy — a nice touch! I didn't see any indication as to when to add the zest, so I put it in the with the onions after I'd had them cooking for a while. I used veggie broth to make the recipe vegetarian friendly. This is delicious!

I have now made this 3 times and it gets better each time I make it. This has so many wonderful flavors and is healthy on top of it. We have also reheated it as leftovers--outstanding. Thanks so much for sharing.
