Really good! My guests loved it. I do think you could cut back on the amount of cashews a bit, and I let it cook for 22 minutes before taking it off the burner. It hand a nice delicate flavor that went to well with seafood!

Very good, the whole family loved it. I used orange juice instead of water. Will make again.

Loved the way this dish came out. Changed it up a little and used canned mandarin oranges after draining the liquid. Plan to use all orange juice instead of water/juice mixture next time I make the dish. Thinking about adding cooked shrimp to make a complete dish.

Wonderful flavor - as a quick meal or a side. Using the fresh squeezed juice really made this pop!

Turned out perfect the first time. Only changes made were oj instead of water and added a bit of orange marmalade at the end. I will start tweaking it going forward. Excellent recipe and very easy to make.

The first time I made this, it wasn't a splashy or big wow taste, but it was compelling. You just kept wanting another bite, then another, and another....

The next time I made it, I zested the oranges before I juiced them and tossed the zest and a couple tablespoons grated fresh ginger in with the liquids. I also used all oj and no water. Finally, I just rougly diced the peeled orange, used two of them, and made the pieces slightly smaller to get better distribution. All this added a few high notes to balance the coconut-rice-cashew base. Now it's a new family favorite!

I accidentally bought blood oranges last time, which made it even better tasting and prettier in the serving dish!

this turned out good!! I had brown instant rice on hand so I used that instead of the long grain rice. The trick to that is to use about 1/4 - 1/2 more rice than liquid when using instant brown rice. So when it called for 14oz of coconut milk + 1/3 cup water + 1/3 cup OJ I in turn used 16oz. rice + 3/4 cup rice. I also had honey roasted peanuts on hand instead of cashews so I used that instead. And I was making with it Paula Deen's double orange glazed pork chops which called for some orange marmalade so I put some of that in my rice too. FABULOUS COMBO!! I would highly recommend making these 2 dishes together. YUM!

This dish came out perfectly, but the taste was a bit bland. I added a little more orange slices to boost the flavor and because that sweet burst of goodness just tastes so good in your mouth! However, I feel like there's something missing still from the recipe, but I can't quite put my finger on it because it's missing that pop of flavor.

To the people that were saying the coconut milk is thick, Are you using coconut MILK, or CREAM of coconut?? There is a Big difference. I'm just asking, because I am the queen of crappy rice, and mine turned out perfect. :-

I made this dish according to the recipe. After 20 minutes, the rice was no where near done and the liquid was almost gone. So I added a little more water. And a little more water. And a little more water. About an hour later, I decided to finally serve the rice, although still a little firm and kind of tasteless with all the added liquid. I was so dissappointed.
