What a wonderful way to eat brown rice! So easy and so flavorful... I baked the rice with chicken broth instead of water, used 1/4 c vinegar and 3/4 c water for the "sauce," and used parsley instead of dill. Wonderful!!
rice-a-licious

Alton you are a genius with baking the brown rice. I did however take the suggestions of the other reviewers to lower the vinegar to 1/4cup and up the broth to 3/4cup. My husband loved it. The next day I had cold rice and added chopped tomatoe and chopped pickled jalapeno It Was Great. Thank you genius.
Need to adjust

The brown rice in the oven was beautiful!!! But I love dill and it was overpowering, next time I'll lay of a bit. And I don't think any more salt needs to be added. There is already salt in the rice and with the saltiness of the bacon there was more than enough. I'll lay off the salt in the liquid part next time. I think with less salt and less dill or another more subtle herb it will be a 5 star recipe
This brown rice recipe is fabulous!!

My family loved the taste! The vinegar was spectacular to the flavor of this rice dish. It is excellent hot or cold. I just love that you can bake the brown rice in the oven. How sweet is that!!!
Yummy!

I've made this rice a few times. It is the best rice I've ever eaten. However, 4 oz of vinegar is overwhelming. I find 1 to 2 oz is enough. Also, the rice only needs 50 minutes in my oven. Be sure you don't get parboiled rice--the cooking time and water needed will be a bit different.
Delicious and easy

First of all, the brown rice cooked in the oven is GENIUS. I am one of those people who always burns the bottom of the rice, so this was a breakthrough for me. The salad itself was delicious - tangy, chewy, great hot or cold. Once the rice was cooked, it took no time to put together. Will definitely make this over and over!
a winner, but what did you expect?

How can you not like this?! I loved the vinegar, but I appreciate the criticism that there it may be too much for some people. I actually used apple cider vinegar and vegetable broth (am a vegetarian), and I substituted parsley for dill (just a preference). It was delicious. I ate it for dinner alone -- not the whole thing, but could have it was that good. I love you, Alton Brown!

tasty recipe, this was my first time making it. Very reminiscent of german patatoe sald imo. Seems like it is missing something maybe more ground and onion
PRETTY GOOD!

I followed the recommendations of previous reviewers and reduced the vinegar to 2 T. I also used my dill vinegar. The ingredients reminded me of a hot bacon vinaigrette salad. It was very good.

I have not yet tried this recipe, however, I think it will be very good, given the fact that all recipes range from simple to complex, and the more ingriedints incorporated, the adjusments for taste must follow. I loved the baked brown rice, And I beleieve based on my own cooking experience, this will be a hit as well.

This was absolutely wonderful. Not only did I learn how to make great brown rice (Mine was always cruchy) the finish dish was scrumptous. Cannot wait to make it again.

I made this salad today. The rice is nice and nutty and the flavor is excellent. I think people have had problems with the vinegar is because they didn't let the sauce cook together before adding the rice and bacon. I added a bit more chopped dill and a table spoon of chopped flat leaf parsley. GREAT!!
too much vinegar

Yum!

Wife and I loved this! She's been trying to get me on brown rice for a while, and this looked good enough on TV. We followed recipe amost exactly and came out awesome. A tiny bit salty to me, but that's probably because I backed off on some of the other "heartier" ingredients for the missus. This will become a regular meal for us!
Excellent

I initially withheld 1/2 of the vineager but added it after my initial taste, it needed it. Really good flavors and use of brown rice. Next time, I'll omit the dill and add a dried fruit for an Italian agra dolce, sweet & sour rice salad. Thanks Alton
great flavor

a lot of people here complain about the vinegar in the recipe, but i enjoy it. i didn't have any white wine vinegar, so i substituted apple cider vinegar. my idea is that the taste is very subjective, because when my mother tasted the salad, she complained about the vinegar (she ate a bowl of it anyway!). for ease, i diced the bacon before frying it very slowly in the pan, and i also allowed the vinegar to reduce in the pan for a minute before adding the remaining ingredients. instead of dill, i stirred minced scallion in at the very end. i enjoy this salad warm, because it reminds me of a spinach salad with warm bacon dressing.
Chewy and delicious

This is a great way to change-up rice. Brown rice is very nutty and very chewy. This recipe is wonderful, however I recommend you cut back on the amount of vinegar.
OK, but...

The dill is just overpowering. I think I will try it again using a more subtle herb.
Delicious, but cut down on the vinegar

Like many other reviewers here, I found 4oz of vinegar to be far too much. 2oz is plenty, and a bit less would probably work, too. Other than that, outstanding!

Thanks Alton for another awesome recipe. I can now eat healthy junk like brown rice and actually enjoy the taste because it's disguised with bacon and dill.
good stuff

This is a great side dish warm or cold. We thought the vinegar was not overpowering. If you want a little more crunch stir in some steamed broccoli and water chestnuts.

Thanks to the baking of the rice, I will never again have sticky rice. The rice was perfectly fluffy! I liked this dish, but just as a few other reviewers noted, I would cut the vinegar in half. Even though I love vinegar, it is just a little too much for this dish.
nice and easy

Woo-hoo! The first review, well for those who are toying around with making this recipe, let me tell you it is wonderful! The only thing I would say is if you don't like vinegar, ease up on the 1/2 cup Alton recommends. If you put in the entire 1/2 cup, it comes out a little strong. But as always... Alton comes up with a great one!
Easy to prepare

I liked the recipe although the vinegar taste is a little strong. I mixed it with a 5-bean casserole recipe to cut the vinegar. It was very easy to prepare and I even cooked the brown rice in the microwave!
great!

I love cooking rice in the oven- saves burner space & the rice comes out perfect every time. I use this recipe at least once a week with a few variations depending on the main course. Would maybe recommend going a little easy on the vinegar especially if accessory dishes are acid.
AWSOME

This is an Awsome dish good hot or cold. If you dont have fresh Dill do not use the equivilent amount in ground or it is too strong.
