Way too sweet, I would leave out the honey and sultanas and add more carrot and onion.

I made this with a mixed wild rice and like lucy I added in dried cranberries with the sultanas. It was great, a really nice change with the harshness having been removed from the onions by the soaking. Will definitely make again

When reading the nutrition table, I found an arrow at the end on top of salt information. Does it mean this recipe is low on salt? Thanks.
