Found this one that sounds yummy on 101 cookbooks website. It has 2/3 cups olive oil in it! I know I could saute the onion in veg. broth instead of oil but they toss the rest of the oil with the rice and quinoa. Any suggestions? http://www.101cookbooks.com/archives/ottolenghi-red-rice-and-quinoa-recipe.html

I would use more of the orange and lemon juice. Then think about adding something else if you want more moisture: liquid aminos, vinegar, tobasco sauce if you like some kick, seasoned rice vinegar, etc. Susan Levin, MS, RD PCRM Director of Nutrition Education

I bet the rice vinegar would be nice, along with a bit of orange juice. Not too much though – you won't need much! The dish will be flavorful on its own just from the rice, quinoa and pistachios. Yum! Molly Horn
