This wea really fanstastic. The flavor of the rice was intense! I felt the instructions were a little unclear. I didn't know if the herbs should be chopped (I did) and assumed it was supposed to be cooked on the stovetop, but it never said that. I ended up cooking it two hours on the stovetop and keeping it warm one hour in the oven. Very tender and juicy
