Once you taste this scrumptious stuffing you'll understand why we call it the 'best ever.' It's amazing how pecans and an orange add a flavorful twist to rice stuffing.

6..15.17 This recipe s name is almost a misnomer because it s more than a stuffing it s a wonderful side dish as well. This was positively the perfect side kick to some Baked Cod with Fresh Lemon Pepper and steamed broccoli. The orange juice and zest really work some magic in this dish and the result is flavorful harmonious and mellow rice a side dish that will not overwhelm whatever else you're serving with it. We really enjoyed this recipe and I'll be making it again. Read More

We LOVED this rice! Great flavor and we really enjoyed the crunch of the toasted pecans. My only thing was that this took a little longer to cook (for the water to absorb) than the recipe called for but maybe I measured the water wrong??? Not sure but it was no big deal either way the rice was delicious and I will def be making it again YUM! Thanks for sharing.:) Read More

The recipe was very simple and tastes great! I'm just not a huge fan of citrus in my stuffing. That being said if I paired it with the right entree it would probably be perfect! Read More

It made more rice than I expected but we just happened to have a family gathering that evening. So the two of us were saved from eating rice for days. We served it cold and everyone liked it. The changes I made were replacing the butter with coconut oil and I used two oranges for juicing and only one for zesting. I toasted my pecans on parchment paper on a cookie sheet in the oven at 300 for 10-15 minutes. We will definitely be making this again and it would be a great side dish for get togethers. Read More

Loved this rice! I was worried the orange might be overpowering but it was mild and added a delicious flair along side our grilled pork. This was so easy to make and is a great way to "fancify" a simple side. Read More
