Very quick prep and quite tasty. I used sundried tomatoes in oil pulled from the jar with a fork so there was plenty of oil left on them. This seemed to address some of the dryness issues folks mentioned. -
I was looking for a quick and easy to prepare basmati rice tonight and tried this recipe. This was really good. Great flavour and so easy to make with ingredients that are commonly on hand. I needed to add just a little more broth near the end to fully cook the rice. Delicious. Will definately be making this again! -
We really enjoyed this recipe. It had a lot of the flavors we were looking for. This was a bit on the dry side adding more liquid would be great. Nothing was jumping out at us. Overall a good side dish. Thanks for posting. :) -
I ended up making this with a brown rice blend b/c I was out of white rice. Lots of flavor! I served it as a side dish to stuffed chicken breasts, along with sauteed green beans. Yum! Thanks for sharing.

I live in Las Vegas. I was lucky enough to run into Recipezaar around Nov. 2000 and got hooked quickly. I am a cookbook collector and have been collecting recipes for as long as I can remember. My DH had to build in shelves for all my cookbooks! I like to dabble with OAMC and for a few years hosted the Budget/OAMC forum with some great people over there. Even though I don't work in the forum any longer I've set up a lot of cookbooks for the purpose of OAMC and stretching food that might be helpful. Please feel free to check them out! I go on food jags and cooking jags! Please come say hi to me and chat on facebook. I currently host a blog for saving money through finding deals and coupons if you are interested. Most of the time I try to cook and have a good dinner on the table but I'll be honest enough to say there is still fast food occasionally in the budget! I have had such wonderful support here whenever I need it. Thank you all for being here! Just a quick note on how I rate recipes:
? 5 stars - This recipe is perfect. (My DH is truly a critic and doesn't give 5's unless it's amazing) I would recommend it to others and would definitely make again.
? 4 stars - This recipe was good but I would change something in it next time.
? 3 stars - This is a recipe I would not make again but it was OK
? 2 stars - This recipe I would not make again and we didn't like it at all
? 1 star - This recipes did not work out/taste was unappealing and wouldn't make again
