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

We're vegetarians so I leave out the bacon, and I only use 1/2 teaspoon of salt when baking the rice. That being said, this has turned out to be a staple recipe for my household. I bake brown rice anytime the dish is empty!

Very forgiving as well. I've left it for a good 10 minutes extra, had the foil-covered dish of rice and boiling water on the counter for several minutes while I belatedly heated the oven, even once had to take it out halfway through cooking and take it to another house to finish. Every time it's been perfect. I sometimes put other seasonings like pepper flakes, garlic, or onion powder in the water before boiling it for savory or spicy rice, though the plain rice with blueberries and walnuts is a perfect breakfast.

As for the salad, I've added walnuts, almonds, various greens and cabbages, blue cheese, feta cheese, whatever I could think of or had on hand, and the end result is so great that meat eaters never miss the bacon at family gatherings.

Great recipe!

I love this recipe! I use the basic recipe and then tweak it different ways. Today I used bacon, spinach and pine nuts. My husband loved it! and he is not that much into brown rice.

I really liked this recipe. I did change a few things. I used 4oz of diced pancetta, substituted seasoned rice vinegar for the white vinegar (that’s what I had and took other advise and used more sugar (1 to 1 ½ Tablespoons, to your taste. It was good warm and later cold out of the fridge. It is like comfort food on a lazy day but will defiantly make as a side with steak or roasted chicken! ALTON ALWAYS HAS THE BEST RECIPES!! Whenever there is something I want to make I look to his recipes first!

I've only been making my brown rice in the oven because its so easy and my family willl only eat it when I bake it. The brown rice salad also came out very good. I didn't have enough vinegar so I just out it what I had (1/4 cup and left the 1/2 cup chicken broth and it worked great. Also subsituted the bacon for turkey bacon and the dill for parsley.

This is a good recipe, the brown rice is a little tricky so I cook it in a http://www.brownricecookersite.com>brown rice cooker</a >. Some rice cookers have brown rice settings and others don't so be sure to get one that does.
