Wonderful! I too added additional broth, and it took longer than 45 min., more like an hour, probably more. I loved the additional of orange zest, maybe I'd add a bit more next time! Thanks for the recipe.

Been making this for a few years and love it. I loved it so much that I posted it, but Geema beat me to the punch. I can make a meal of this rice dish and it goes so well with poultry and pork. Softshellcrab

Oh so good. The rice cooded dry before done and I did need to add about 1/4 cup additional broth. A nice combination of colors and flavors. DH loved it!
