This is very yummy rice! I do think that the butter could be reduced to about 1/3 cup and I will try that next time. It seemed quite greasy to me. I would also decrease the oregano for my personal taste but everyone else thought it was perfect. I added in about a cup of frozen peas at the very end. My husband is a rice hater and. . . he went back for seconds!! Yup, this is a winner. Thanks so much for posting it.

This recipe was good & easy. It needed more seasoning for my taste though. Next time I will have to add more seasonings to kick it up some.

This is good .. I made it on the stovetop and it took only 20 minutes .. I also added a tablespoon of lemon juice and it complemented the oregano nicely .. thanks
