Easy and inexpensive to make. I doubled the recipe for a large party using TRADER JOE's Harvest Grain Blend. Using another reviewer's advice I soaked the raisins in lemon juice to plump them (and added the zest of the lemon too. I also added two grated carrots for color. Served as a cold side dish and pleasantly surprised with the overall dish (as I'm not a fan of grains or raisins!. Will definately make this one again.

This was a perfect side dish for my fish dinner. Great textures and flavors. I made a couple minor adjustments...soaking the raisins in lemon beforehand, added fresh shredded carrots, more herbs and slivered almonds. Very nice.
