I made no changes to this wonderful rice recipe. Surprisingly, the oregano makes this dish. I will make this again anytime I have a large gathering again.

I enjoyed this rice, but next time I will leave out the green onions. They just did not seem to "mesh" well with the dish. Also, I used dried oregano in this, but I'm thinking that fresh would have been much better (not as crispy). I loved the mushrooms in this, and the rice itself came out perfect, no crunchy pieces, no mushy pieces, perfectly separated. I did need to add 10 minutes extra of cooking time to allow all the liquid to absorb. I will be making this again, and can imagine all sorts of additions this would be lovely with (dehydrated vegetables, lemon, rosemary, basil, etc...) Thanks!
