We love Near East Rice Pilaf and can't make it anymore because of the sodium, I am so glad that I tried your recipe today, it was a much needed treat! I wish I could give you twenty stars! This is a wonderful recipe and easy to follow instructions. I used 3/4 cup of rice 1/4 cup of orzo. My husband is on a strict low sodium diet, therefore, used garlic powder and onion powder, with a pinch of tumeric. Thank God for the low sodium chicken granules they have now, they added so much flavor. Sliced fresh mushrooms and just added them to the browned rice and orzo, with the rest of the ingredients. Garnished with sliced green onion. Thank you for sharing this wonderful recipe.

This was very easy to prepare. The rice had good texture. I'm sorry, but I did not care for the flavour of this combination of herbs. I guess it's just not for me.
