This was excellent. Very easy to make and had it with fish. I will cut back to 6 tablespoons of butter instead of a whole stick. The oregano was a bit much so I might just add 2 tablespoons next time but thats a personal preference. Excellent recipe though. -
This is a great recipe BUT I too cut back on the butter, loved the oregano, and instead of boullion, I used chicken broth to cook the rice in. Was absolutely wonderful--Dixie from Eolia -
I took one of the other reviewer's advice & cut back a bit on the amount of butter, but otherwise followed the recipe & the rice was wonderfully full of flavor! Thanks for sharing it! [Made & reviewed for the closing of Pick A Chef event] -
Excellent! At first, I thought the butter would be too much so I reduced it to about 1/3 cup butter (instead of 1/2 cup), and it turned out perfectly and produced a light and fluffy rice that was perfectly seasoned with just enough butter taste. Thank you for sharing your recipe, Amy in Kansas. -
Excellent! And so easy to make for someone who doesn't know how to cook like myself! I will definitely be making this again. Thanks!
