Delicious! I served this with some scallops and a veggie. It went perfectly, the slight hint of lemon and the fluffy rice. Yummy.; Thank you for sharing this rice dish with us.

This was awesome! I loved everything about the ingredients. They were just the right amount and it had great flavor. Made for ZWT8 for the Diners, Winers and Chives team.

Like all the other reviewers, I loved this. Easy, tasty, and cheap :) used jar garlic, and left it in. Did the carrots with the zester, so the end product was colourfull AND tasy!
