This is an absolutely wonderful recipe! My sister-in-law made if for us quite a few years ago, and I have made it many times since, receiving many compliments. I have served it over rice and orzo, and substituted basil and parsley if I know my guests don't care for cilantro. Don't hesitate to make this as written. -
I discovered this recipe about a year ago on Martha Stewart's website. It is really a great dish. I always receive many compliments when I serve it for company. I usually substitute low sodium chicken broth for the water but otherwise generally follow the recipe. I sometimes use parsley rather than cilantro as I am not a real big fan of cilantro. This is a tasty recipe and is also very easy to prepare.

<p>I've collected recipes since I was a teen. After all these years I'm trying to get all my index cards and clippings, that still sound interesting to me, posted here so that I can find them and eventually make them! <br /> <br />I've posted some of my Mom's recipes. I regret not having paid more attention to my Grandmothers' cooking. They made some dishes that I miss and there were/are no recipes for them. <br /> <br />I have a wonderful DH and 2 wonderful sons. They are thrilled that I found this site since they directly benefit from it! Before finding 'Zaar, I was less of a cook and more of a recipe collector but now I try many more things and we're having more fun in the kitchen (at least I am)! <br /> <br />Thanks for all your ratings, comments and help in the forums AND for posting so many great recipes. You've enhanced my cooking skills and expanded my horizons! I've learned so much. <br /> <br />For fun, I also like to read fiction, travel, see movies and shows, shop (and I love to browse thrift shops and rummage/garage sales for cookbooks, etc.). <br /> <br />The discovery of a new dish does more for the happiness of mankind than the discovery of a new star Brillat-Savarin</p>
