    my mother gave me a bag of wild rice :( and we had a bag of barley :( so this was a way to get rid of them. first day, pretty good. second day, Great! we also tried it without mushrooms and tossed in some chicken thigh bones with clinging meat (the rest of the meat used in indian recipes). Thanks - 1/8/10

    Delicious! I cooked the rice in my pressure cooker to speed it up and added fresh sage while simmering the cooked rice with the remaining ingredients. I think I may add a touch of white wine or sherry next time to deepen the flavor. Also used less sodium stock to cut down on sodium content. - 11/17/09

    A lot of sodium here, but if you substitute Kitchen Basics stock which has no sodium, or HerbOx boullion cubes which also have no sodium, you'll cut the sodium way, way down. - 2/13/11
