Nutty Brown Rice

This dish is wonderful, I’ve been making this for years and it’s always been received with high praise from our guests.

Seriously good as long you add some extra salt.

Wonderful side dish. I used walnuts because that is what we had on hand. Spruced up the personality of the rice. Helped me serve brown rice to a finnicky eater...and he liked it!

I misread recipe and thought I doubles the nuts, but actually I used about half the amount. Still great, esp. since I had some wild rice mixed in.

Made this as a side dish and used 3 cups chicken broth, no water, and cooked rice per instructions. Also, only because I only had a cup of brown rice, added half a cup of wild rice. It was a fantastic side dish and got raves from a non-rice eater.

I added some fresh garlic, red pepper and onion to the nuts, skipped the nutmeg. Stirred in a handful of fresh spinach with the rice and nut mixture. This added a bit more flavor and color to the dish.

Very good. Healthy, tasty and easy dish. I reduced the nutmeg by 1/2 and it worked well for me.

I love brown rice and I love this recipe. I'm very health conscious so I divide this into five-1 1/3 cup servings, then it comes in at just under 500 calories per. And it's brown rice so that's a healthy 500 cal! I used almonds and cashews. Next time I think I'll do pecans as well. First time I didn't chop the nuts, just left them whole. Second time I put them in the cuisinart. I didn't like that as much because it chopped them so fine that I think they absorbed too much of the butter. Next time I think I will just chop the nuts in half. And maybe add a teaspoon of cinnamon as well. This is one of my go-to healthy comfort foods! I love it!

I've made this numerous times, and always to rave reviews. Never the same twice, as I use different nuts (one or more varieties) depending on what I have. The only change I absolutely and always have to make is to double the salt when cooking the rice.

Lightened up on the nutmeg a bit, but otherwise made as written. Delicious. My family, including kiddos, loved it -- especially liked mixing in some raisins.

Delicious! Added walnuts, pignolias, peas and raisins. Great texture and yummy.

I baked the rice per the directions of another rater and was very pleased with results. Rice was perfect consistency. My 10 year old who HATES any kind of rice devoured this. We had peas as part of the meal and he mixed them into his rice stating that the recipe should have peas in it! My husband says he's adding some brown sugar and cream to the leftovers for breakfast, so I guess this is a keeper!

I used only walnuts. This was delicious, but heavily dependent on making good rice, so if it's starchy or gloppy, prepare a new batch.

Very good. I used a bit less nutmeg, and it turned out very well. The mixed nuts were great with the rice. A keeper!

This recipe is okay. The nutmeg was a little too strong for my taste and really made this dish incompatible with my other dishes of the night. My boyfriend liked it though, so maybe you will.
