This recipe turned out well though I wish I would have put more thyme and lemon zest for added flavor. I used chopped hazelnuts instead of pine nuts as I find pine nuts to be too expensive for such a simple dish. I served this as a side to another Food Network recipe, Smothered Pork Medallions with Sage and Apples.

I've cooked this thing for 2 hours waiting for the wild rice to pop. This is the 2nd time I've tried. This recipe sucks

Even low sodium chicken broth and no added salt it makes a rice that is a bit too salty. If you are eating it by itself, it borders on too salty. But with other food, it just enhances the flavor. This is the only wild rice recipe we make now... So good. but seriously, I would be the chef who penned this recipe must have used no-added soduim broth.

After reading the reviews, we omitted the salt. Turned out great. Served as a side to grilled tuna steak with tomato, olive and caper compote.

The family loved it. Listened to previous reviewers advice and didn't add salt. Mine did take almost the whole hour for the liquid to boil off, but the rice was done much sooner. Will add fewer scallions next time...they seemed to overpower the other flavors. Will definitely make again...

This was a great recipe! I used dried thyme but other than that fallowed the recipe. My husband does not like any kind of rice but said this was pretty good. He said he would like me to make it again soon.

I mistakenly used white and wild rice mix instead of all wild rice. I thankfully figured this out before the rice cooked for 45 minutes. It was done in 25 and I had to remove the extra unabsorbed stock. It was good, but nothing special at all. I'll try to make it again using the right rice and see if it turns out better.

Made it for the family this weekend. Liked it but takes long to cook.

If you watch the show, they mash a bunch of garlic with kosher salt to make a paste and then they use it to flavor the wild rice, the chicken and the cauliflower. No one could possibly use low-sodium chicken broth and then add 2 teaspoons of salt (for the wild rice alone! No wonder everyone thinks it's too salty. Unfortunately, whoever posted the recipe forgot to tell all of us about this! The dishes are great - mash the garlic with the 2 teaspoons of salt recommended in this wild rice recipe and then use a little bit in the rice, a little bit in the lemon herb sauce for the chicken and the rest on the cauliflower. Yum! Bon Appetit!!

We loved this recipe except for the teaspoons of salt. I couldn't eat it, but my husband ate it in spite of the salt. It's definitely a keeper, just crossed through the salt on the receipe.
