I took this to a group function and everyone loved it! They were scraping the bottom of the pan to get more.

This is very tasty. I have made it many times by now and the only change I make is substituting the chicken stock cube with Maggi vegetable stock with onion cubes(since we are vegetarians).

This was sooooooo good. I have been looking for a recipie forever that both my boyfriend and me could agree on, this was it. I always hate it when someone is reviewing a recipie and puts in that they changed this oand that, but now I am going to be one of those people. I did make a couple changes. I used Spicy Hot V-8 in place of the tomato juice and I cut back on the rice by 1/4 C. and replaced it with some thin spagetti broken in small pieces (vermecelli) and I also added some chopped fresh cilantro. It was the best ever, I am not even looking for another recipie anymore.

Delicious! I used only red pepper and omitted the green (don't like them). I followed the recipe exactly as is although it was hard not to peek! I will be making this very often, it is so easy and so tasty!

Excellent-I have to tone down on hot sauce. I used mixture of wild rice and long grain. Was a little chewy this way.
