This was only OK at our house. I think I could have used more liquid and less onion, because the resulting flavor was very strongly onion. It's hard to pinpoint exactly what we didn't like. I don't think the recipe is bad, it just didn't appeal to us. The texture was dense (I used 2 cups of cooked brown rice), and the flavor was heavy, somehow. There needs to be something else in there, lightening things up. On the plus side, I think the leftovers, pureed in chicken broth, will make a nice soup for lunch.
