Sandi, you beat me to it! We love this recipe! I used Morelos' rice from Mexico for the long grain, and savoy cabbage for regular green cabbage. Used homemade curry powder. Very easy to make vegetarian with tempeh or Morningstar Bacon. Thanks for posting the recipe even though that was my intention.... cg ;)
