  • 这对我挑剔的素食的父母不t like garlic, chilli or onions! Bulked it out with a tin of Kidney Beans and added lemon zest and juice to taste and served as a main. Great idea, thanks

  • I made it with brown rice and used lemon-infused olive oil I had on hand instead of making the herbed oil. I added chopped mint and parsley, and some minced onion. Delicious!

  • What a great blueprint to riff on! Just the thing to inspire a lunch with what I have on hand! I didn't have herbed olive oil (and I didn't feel like making it), so I used backyard herbs, feta, cucumbers, some end-of-summer tomatoes, chickpeas and chili flake. Delightful.

  • I used brown rice as that's all I had. I found this to be bland and dry and wouldn't make it again.

  • Excellent! Quick and tasty. We don't eat white rice, so I substituted with brown rice prepared in a rice cooker. I also added 1/2 of a diced red onion.

  • Excellent! I used the already cooked brown rice from TJ and think this recipe is quick, hearty and outstanding. I only made enough of the herb oil for the recipe but I can imagine this oil used on a number of other dishes including fish or lamb.

  • Hey cynical & disgusted, the only disconnect here is YOU! You obviously don't know how to use the nutritional info provided. Why don't you go onto the internet and find a really simple search engine, one you think you will be able to understand, and read about how the numbers on a nutritional chart are calulated? (Sorry if I used words that were too big for you to understand in this note¿¿ )

  • This recipe seems like it would be healthier and be better if you used that really good wild rice mix. Less gummy and more tasty. I will try it and see if that is the case.

  • There is a serious disconnect between the nutritional info and the recipe. 3/4 cup of oil is a whole lot more than 60 gram (6 servings at 10 g/serving.

  • i made this last night with Brown rice. I don't generally prefer cold rice dishes, but was told the feta would be bitter if I added it to hot rice, so I did follow the recipe to wait 10 minutes. I don't think the brown rice fared so well, I used a rice cooker and have always done well with that. However I think next time I would use white rice (as the recipe says). I liked the way it looked so elegant with the tomatoes and herbed oil. This is definitely one I'd like to keep on file.
