I couldn't believe this recipe when I saw it! I was just thinking I would make something like this when I saw the review and read the recipe which was similar to what I was thinking up, but a lot better. I used real garlic and extra cabbage. It is absolutely delicious and healthy. Thank you for posting this recipe.

i fixed this for dinner the other night, and it's a nice dish! it's so cheap, easy, healthy, and tasty. please note that it did take about 10 minutes longer than stated for my rice to be cooked thoroughly. my husband is honduran, and he said it tasted (but didn't look) spanish. thanks for a successful dinner dish! made for the bargain basement tag game.
