I made half this for 2 of us. I sauteed onion mushroom and red pepper, chopped up some cherry heirloom tomatoes and added to the sauteed veggies. I cooked the rice and added the veggies in after the rice was cooked. I had to use water for the rice because i didn't have any chicken broth or bouillon. Still had great flavor. I did the whole recipe on the cooktop not in the oven starting with browning the rice.

I used my electric pressure cooker. I reduced the fat by half using 2 T butter and 2 T olive oil. I sauted the veg and rice in my (open) pressure cooker. Reduced the broth to 1 3/4 cup, stirred into rice mixture, put on lid and cooked on the cycle recommended for white rice. Turned out great in less than 30 minutes total time. Great recipe.

Very easy to make and tasty. Got great family reviews. What's not to like? I did find the dish a little greasy, so next time I make it I'll cut back on the butter somewhat.
