Really lovely. Didn't find currants, so went with dried cherries finely chopped. Worked beautifully.

Sooo flavorful! I had no hopes for this since 1 I had no currants, nor apricots & 2 I hate cilantro, so that's out too.
So, I made it as directed (mind you I NEVER get a good "do" on rice and at the end added the almonds and some dried cranberries..it had the best taste ever. Thanks Guy!

Very simple, easy & tasty. I will always cook my rice like this. Everyone enjoyed it. The only think I substituted was chicken broth for water.
