This is delicious! I had to substitute dried dill for the fresh and used a tad bit less of it, but other than that followed the recipe as written. We love it as is, I wouldn't change a thing and won't in the future. Thanks for sharing the recipe Lori Mama! Made for Pick-A-Chef Fall 2011.

This was yummy! I used basmati rice and cooked it in chicken broth to give it more flavor and it came out really good. It is a little tart, so if you like things sweeter, I would add maybe a pinch of sugar or honey. I will make this again- thanks!

This was an excellent side dish with our grilled lemon chicken. Lovely flavor. I did have to substitute dried dill (about 2 teaspoons) because I couldn't find fresh dill anywhere. Made for Every Day is a Holiday tag.
