This was delicious. I used what I had on hand.I was out of bacon bits and cilantro. I also added some diced yellow bellpeppers as well as some red. I was afraid the alspice would over power, so I only added 1/4 teaspoon because I only had 2 cups of rice, so I think that evened it out. My husband and the kids liked this dish. I DID serve it warm instead of cold(I assumed that was how it was supposed to be served) Anyway, it was delicious and I'll be making it again.

This made a great accompaniment to a grilled steak. I was a coward and used only a half teaspoon of allspice but the flavor was so mild it probably would have been fine with the full teaspoon. My "small" red onion must have been too big, because I only used half of it and that was more than enough. This is a really pretty side dish... so colorful, even without the peas (I forgot to add them). I made the mistake of cooking 3 cups of raw rice (it makes a LOT of rice!) but luckily I figured out my mistake before I mixed everything up. All in all, DH and I really enjoyed this.

I made this today and I was really hoping that I would be able to give more stars. I made 2 servings and cut rhe allspice to a very scant 1/2 tsp and that was fine. For me it was the soy sauce that I wasn't nuts about in this recipe. I would use a bit of salt in the future. Loved the Bacon Bits in this and I think they are the star flavor here. Also I used Maui sweet onion and brown rice. The allspice and sweet onion went very well together. The colors made this very appealing and I will make this again but without the soy sauce.

Millions of apologies for only 3 stars but this needs some adjusting in my opinion. The delicate flavor of the jasmine rice is completely lost in the soy sauce. The dressing is odd - 1TB of allspice? It's not totally horrible - it tastes ok, 1 child loved it, the other wouldn't touch it. Regular rice would work just fine & maybe just a tsp of allspice & less soy sauce? Of course, the bacon was *my* favorite part. ;)

<p>Clockwise from upper left, my dear friends Cranberry, Quincy, Kumquat and Kiwi. All of our cats were born in the wild and adopted by us. Zaar Chefs I have met so far: Elmotoo, justcallmeToni, ~Rita~, Midwest Maven, Bird&Buddha (both of them) and most recently, Ms*Bindy from upstate New York:) Wonderful, sweet, friendly people and great chefs! Most relevant thing to mention here is that I am a vegetarian, and recently became a vegan (almost 100%). To put vegetables and other things not meat or fish on the table I work as an actuary (in my case anyway, a combination of statistician, number-cruncher and/or programmer). For fun I like to travel. Just came back from Namibia, a peaceful democracy in Africa with lots of animals! Got some terrific pictures of lions, leopards, cheetahs, elephants, rhinocerous, hyenas, all kinds of antelopes, giraffes and zebras. Namibia is the second most sparsely populated country per square mile, just behind Mongolia. Update: We went to Italy this Spring. We had lots of pizza and pasta. The pizza is so much better in Italy, particularly the crust. The Amalfi coast was absolutely beautiful. Spectacular natural scenery (Canada and Alaska are really beautiful, Patagonia in Chile is sublime, Iceland is unique) has been my latest passion as far as travel destinations but I have seen quite a few big cities too (Paris, Berlin, London and Madrid to name a few). On my bulletin board at work I keep a list of every country I've visited (other than the U.S. of course). So far I've made it to five continents: Europe, Africa, South America, Asia and North America of course. I've got only two other continents to conquer:) I don't usually have difficulty finding vegetarian dishes here in the U.S. or overseas, but finding vegan dishes is much harder. I have no kids, just cats, Kumquat, Cranberry, and more recently Quincy and Kiwi. They are purebreds, of the breed alley caticus (okay, American shorthair I guess). Our cats are not vegetarians, though my boyfriend (significant other, long-term partner, whatever) is. I am a friend of all animals both tamed and wild. In addition I am a freethinker and my boyfriend studies philosophy. Either way, we get along pretty well. Also, please allow me to say that my BF and I recently bought a condominium in NYC.:) Pet peeve? Okay, I don't like public scenes, especially parents yelling at their children, lovers' spats, etc. If it must be done please do it in private:D Participation & Awards:</p>
