Flavorful rice dish. I added a dash of allspice. I served it with a jerk marinaded chicken breast and plantains fried in peanut oil. A good addition to a tropical meal! Thanks! -
We LOVE papaya...so I'm for anything that it is in! This was easy...and tasty. The kids really loved it...the sweetness...almost like a dessert! I did add just a hint of allspice. Thanks so much for posting this! Made and reviewed for Zaar Chow Hounds...ZWT 5.
