    This was the first bowl to be emptied. DH told me I had to make this again! Great flavor combinations, easy and delicious. I doubled the recipe, but used 3 Tbsp. lemon juice for the doubled amount. Great recipe Ashleigh!

    Is this what you are looking for? Crossing my fingers for you!

    Persian Rice Salad

    2 cups cold cooked long-grain brown rice (try brown jasmine or brown basmati rice)
    1 Tablespoon olive oil
    3 Tablespoons lemon juice (maybe less, try it and see)
    1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon. dill weed, by taste
    1/2 teaspoon salt,
    6 thin scallions, sliced thin
    1/3 cup toasted cashew pieces
    1/3 cup medium dates, cut up

    Dress rice with combined olive oil, lemon juice, and dill weed. Add salt to taste. Combine with scallions, cashew pieces, and dates and serve immediately. (If you can't serve right away, set the cashews aside and add them just beforehand.)

    Makes 4 servings (2 1/2 cups)

    Chefly, where do you find brown jasmine rice? I love jasmine even more than basmatti but can't find the brown. Thanks.

    Jill, I just used regular long grain brown rice when I made it and used the baked rice method to cook it. I'll check our huge grocery store today when I go shopping and see if they have brown basmati.

    Jill, the grocery store I go to had several brands of brown basmati rice.
    Texmati brand was 36 oz. for $5.09 (located in the rice aisle), Royal brand was 10 lbs. for $9.49(located in the ethnic aisle), Lundberg brand was 32 oz. for $3.09 or Lundberg organic was 32 oz. for $3.99 (both located in the Natural Foods aisle.)

    I hope this helps you. If you would like me to ship some to you I would be happy to.

    Chefly, do you ever use brown jasmine? I can find the brown basmati but not the brown jasmine.

    Sorry Jill, I misread your question. I have only used white jasmine. I didn't see any brown jasmine but didn't look that closely. I'll check again when I'm there again.

    We love brown rice this way.

    Spray a 2-1/2 qt. round casserole with non-stick cooking spray. Pour rice into casserole. Add oil, salt (if using) and boiling water or broth. Cover and bake for 40 min. Remove cover and fluff with for,. Cover and let stand 10 min. If too moist, return to oven (uncovered) for 2-3 min.
    Serves 4-6.

    TY, Chefly~So does it come out more like a risotto sort of when done like this? I guess I'm just wondering what the difference is between the traditional method and this in the end result....

    Thanks!

    No, the grains actually come out more separate, less sticky this way. More like a pilaf.
