    This was great. It makes a huge amount, but keeps well in the fridge. I add the arugula at serving time so that it doesn’t get that wilted texture. I think I prefer the Camargue Red Rice and Quinoa with Pistachio and Orange that is in Ottolenghi’s first book.

    This was my favorite from the book so far. It did take a while to put together and made a lot of salad, but it was delicious as leftovers the next day. Added lemon flavored olive oil and that really gave a boost to the lemon zing.

    Lovely salad but I found it took about 2 hours to make with all the stages! I did it exactly as stated and it made a huge quantity. The dressing could have done with a bit more "zip" -- not sure what I would add, but it definitely needs something more.

    Delicious and for an Ottolenghi recipe quite quick to prepare. Made with a brown and wild rice mixture, and left out the quinoa since I made another quinoa salad as well. Really enjoyed the sour cherries in this one! Will definitely be making again!

    Like others, I found this to be delicious and easy to prepare. (Don't mind all the pots and pans!) I did not have arugula and used kale instead. As well, I substituted dried cranberries soaked in lemon in place of sour cherries. We were all very happy to take this for lunch the following day!

    Another delicious recipe from Mr. Ottolenghi! Since I was only cooking for 2, I cut the recipe in half and we still have a generous amount of salad left for at least 2 more nights. A half recipe easily feeds 6-8 as a side. I really liked the combination of flavors. Used a little extra lemon juice (another half lemon) since I like a zippy lemon flavor on my grain salads. Sadly I didn't have any arugula so had to leave it out. Will most definitely make this again.

    I made this with wild rice, Camargue red rice, and brown basmati rice because I had them on hand and it was delicious, and a huge hit at the potluck I took it to. I have also had it made with quinoa as written, and I prefer the texture when made with all rices. Yield is about double that indicated.

    p. 54 – Fabulous dish! I made half and this recipe still produced a LOT of salad. I used some incredibly malty-nutty wild rice I brought back from a trip to Manitoba and it alone was so aromatic I’d have been happy if that were the only grain in the dish. But it wasn’t. Of course I then got to add in my favourite rice, basmati and on top of that, quinoa. Even mr bc who doesn’t take a huge interest in any side dishes that don’t involve potatoes couldn’t help asking about this dish as the house just got more and more delicious-smelling as I prepared this recipe. The toasted nuts and caramelized onions sent him over the edge and one of our guests almost shouted “caramelized onions and sun-dried sour cherries” when I was describing what went into this dish because he was so excited about the thought of it! No surprise this paired perfectly with our grilled lamb. So delicious! Photos here: http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/1012789?commentId=9558026#9558026
