Delicious! Cooking times were right on. I used Lundberg's Brown and Wild Rice blend. Seasonings were perfect. I think fresh cilantro instead of parsley would be good also! Thanks for this keeper!

Loved this and it was so easy to make. So much healthier and cheaper than store bought. I substituted fresh garlic for powdered (personal preference). I put chopped onions, black beans, fresh cucumber, a little cilantro, and some salsa in bowls on the table. I served the rice in soup bowls and everyone just dived in. PS: My children prefer white rice to the healthier brown, but they didn't know they were eating brown rice and they really liked it.
