  1. This was tasty. I used chicken stock for the water, as I think it gives a bit more added flavor, especially when it comes to rice. In my oppinion anyway.;)
     
  2. This recipe is delicious and super easy. I served it under Middle Eastern Green Beans ans Tomatoes (114217) and I highly recommend the pairing!! Also went great with the Lebanese Chicken because it did not overpower the flavors of the marinade! Great Recipe and I WILL be making this again!!! A keeper!
     
  3. It is rice and in my house that can't be all bad. I used fresh herbs and added a couple of cloves of garlic when adding the onion. It was done in the time specified without any additional liquid. I do think that next time around, I will either use chicken stock or vegetable stock to cook the dish for additional flavor.
     
  4. Very good. I also needed a bit more water. Delicious as written, but this also would be good with almonds and/or raisins added.
     
  5. This was delicious! I followed the directions exactly, except added a bit more water as needed. This is a perfect side for a spicy meal. We all liked this. Thanks!
