  1. I prepared this dish as directed and after 45 min in the oven my rice was still rock hard. I assume this was not the intended result.
     
  2. Warm and comforting. I had to substitute a few things (smoked ham instead of the bacon, carrots in place of celery, red and yellow bell peppers) and didn't have the herbs, but it was VERY flavourful! While I was cooking, the smells were driving me nuts, it smelled so good:) There was still liquid left after it was done, I don't know if thats how its supposed to be. Thank you for sharing, Jacie!
