Lovely, lovely deep rich brown appearance! We enjoyed the slightly sweet flavor as well. I felt that it needed less butter (a first for me). Would make it again, the put it in the oven and forget it aspect was great, but definately would decrease amount of butter to 2 tablespoons. Thanks for the recipe.

Used the crockpot at work instead of the oven. Cooked it on low for awhile, then high, stirred it a couple of times and added some water toward the end. Did the prep at home. It took about three hours, was ready for lunch for the office crowd. Just as easy and good. Subbed water for broth and olive oil for butter. Used less than 4 Tbs of oil, too. The rice I used was very short grain brown rice and it was called "sweet" brown rice. There were no instructions in English on the bag! I mistakenly dumped in the almonds before cooking and it was still a hit. While it cooked, delicious smells invaded the office, everyone was ready to try it by the time it was finished.

<p>I've collected recipes since I was a teen. After all these years I'm trying to get all my index cards and clippings, that still sound interesting to me, posted here so that I can find them and eventually make them! <br /> <br />I've posted some of my Mom's recipes. I regret not having paid more attention to my Grandmothers' cooking. They made some dishes that I miss and there were/are no recipes for them. <br /> <br />I have a wonderful DH and 2 wonderful sons. They are thrilled that I found this site since they directly benefit from it! Before finding 'Zaar, I was less of a cook and more of a recipe collector but now I try many more things and we're having more fun in the kitchen (at least I am)! <br /> <br />Thanks for all your ratings, comments and help in the forums AND for posting so many great recipes. You've enhanced my cooking skills and expanded my horizons! I've learned so much. <br /> <br />For fun, I also like to read fiction, travel, see movies and shows, shop (and I love to browse thrift shops and rummage/garage sales for cookbooks, etc.). <br /> <br />The discovery of a new dish does more for the happiness of mankind than the discovery of a new star Brillat-Savarin</p>
