This dish is great with a fish dish. Perhaps you would like it with one of my fish recipes! I guess you would call this marketing for my recipes. Serve it with your own favorite recipe. It is good with chicken too.

Made this wonderful rice dish... but only replaced the orange by lemon (as I couldn't find any nice oranges!!). Used basmati rice. This is perfect side dish for a nice salmon dinner. Thanks Bergy! :)

we felt the orange flavor was too overpowering for the rice which made the rice taste bitter. I would cut the orange zest, back to maybe 1 teaspoon.

I had this for lunch today, and thought it was nice. I don't think I've quite got the knack of zesting yet, because I took ages to zest the orange, and yet it tasted slightly bitter in the recipe. The sesame seeds are a nice addition, though I felt this dish could do with a few more spices.
