Made this recipe for one of my homebound neighbors who loves mushrooms, feta & brown rice ~ This recipe had her name on it, & she loved it, along with a chicken stew I made to go with it! Followed your ingredients with the exception that I used lemon pepper instead of the usual S&P! My neighbor thanks you! [Made & reviewed for one of my adopted chefs in this Spring's PAC]
