Made with both brown rice and wild rice, this popular pilaf has a hint of fruity sweetness, thanks to golden raisins. I prepare the casserole the morning of the party, then refrigerate it in an ovenproof dish to heat through later. -Mark Trinklein, Cedarburg, Wisconsin

This recipe is definitely worth the effort. Once you cook everything you just mix it all together! The flavor is wonderful! It is surely one I'll make again. But be sure you have at least one to two hours to get it all done.
