I did not have scallions so I sub'd a small shallot chopped. Also added 2T of chopped dried strawberries. Delicious!

The ingredients sounded so good! My husband and I thought it was very bland. You can barely taste the raisins or oranges. The white rice gets too mushy, by the time the wild rice is done. I didn't care for the taste, nor the texture. I would not make it again.

At the grocery store, I goofed and bought BROWN rice in lieu of WILD rice so used the brown in this recipe. I think the wild rice would have given it a lot more texture and a better taste. However.......if you mess up too, this rice dish was good anyway so GO FOR IT!
A little bland but I took care of that with garlic and salt. The mandarin orange was the 'highlight'...ditto almonds which I love in most anything!
