This was a yummy, fresh and healthy dish that both my sis and me really enjoyed. I used a mix of rice, wild rice, barley, oat kernels and buckwheat as that's what I had on hand and it added a nice chewy texture and nutty flavour to the meal. I really enjoyed the cinnamon and marjoram, but would have liked a tad more flavour. Maybe next time Ill just double or triple the stated amounts. As I didnt have enough carrot, I used a mix of both carrot and parsnip, which was yummy.<br/>All in all a lovely dish, which was easy to prepare and tasted yummy. Thank you so much for sharing it here with us, Annacia!<br/>Made and reviewed for Zaar Stars December 2010.

Very good! Went well with a fish dish cooked in coconut milk. I like the subtle sweetness with the sugar and vinegar. ( I used rice vinegar, because I didn't have wine vinegar). I also cut cooking time because I wanted the carrots crunchy. Will be making this again, with a roast chicken. Thanks for posting this!
