This dish was wonderful! It was finished cooking at the 45 minute mark. I didn't use low sodium chicken broth and didn't add any salt until I tasted. I also used a little lemon juice and a few other herbs. It definitely added a warmth to the meal.

I'm from wild rice country and I am always looking for new ways to prepare wild rice. This was unique. I have never seen wild rice cooked in an open skillet before but it worked, although the grains split open a bit more than I like. The flavors were excellent. I took the sodium advice since wild rice is naturally a bit salty. I made my own broth from the jarred concentrate and I only made it half as strong as the recipe calls for. It worked perfectly. As for complaints about the cooking time, you need to remember that wild rice is not actually rice, but cooks more along the lines of legumes. You can't rush perfection!

Oh my goodness!! My 7 yr. old son had 3 helpings and has asked for it almost every night since!! Husband and I loved it too! I didn't add any extra salt-salt in the broth was enough. Also, I just splashed some lemon juice and added some dried thyme since that is what I had on hand. This has definately become a staple around our house! It is absolutely delicious!! A must try!!

I agree that there is too much salt called for in the recipe. The wild rice does need more than white or brown, but not this much! All in all, a nice pilaf. It never occured to me to add pine nuts, but I must say that they were a delicious inclusion!

I just served this for Easter dinner, and everyone raved about it! It says four servings. I served five and still had some leftovers. How much rice can one person eat?? = The lemon in therice was a wonderful complement to the lemon in the lamb. Delicious!

This dish looks and tastes wonderful if you reduce the amount of salt it calls for. I used a low-sodium chicken broth (140mg and the amount of salt the recipe called for. I felt it was way too salty. I remade the recipe and just added salt & pepper to taste towards the end of the cooking process with much better results.

This recipe was the best. It went so well with the pork. It made me feel like it was the first Thanksgiving.

It took a little long - but was well worth the wait! It tastes amazing! I put too many pine nuts in because I like them so much! Enjoy!

This rice dish was full of flavor! I had some chestnuts that were sent to me from Ohio so I elected to use them instead of the pine nuts. It worked great! I will make this a regular side on my table! You've done it again Tyler!
