This was very good. But we felt it was missing something. I stirred in a nice portion of parmesan and that made this rice perfection! I used four cloves of garlic. (we love garlic) My green tomato wasn't soft. But that didn't seem to matter, as it got soft as it cooked.. We are looking forward to having this recipe, again & again. A great recipe to use those green garden tomatoes! Thanks for sharing. :)
