A nice side dish which didn't require much effort. I chopped some coriander and folded it through at the end just for a bit of freshness. I did find I had to add some more liquid however I think this is because I had the rice too hot in the beginning and some of the liquid evaporated. Thanks!

Very, very good! Simple and full of flavor. I didn't have fresh tomatoes so I used a can of fire roasted diced tomatoes which were great. I also used brown rice and increased the broth to about 2 and 1/4 cup. It took the brown rice about about 35 minutes to cook. Delicious! Made for ZWT.

This was great and so easy to make. I used rotel tomatoes and it kicked it up a bit. Next time think I'll stick with the recipe! Served with Recipe #120681. Thanks for sharing!
