VERY TASTY RICE, this is! I pretty much minced the bell pepper as well as everything else that went into this dish! Unusual & different, & certainly a keeper! Thanks! [Made & reviewed while touring South & Central America while on Zaar's World Tour 4]

We really enjoyed this rice. It's easy, tasty, and pretty. (-: I think the garlic is a good idea, too. Served this with Recipe#305098 and ended up putting the rice in the bean soup. It was a good match. (-; Made for ZWT4.

I'm not as active here anymore, but you can find me playing at the new recipezazz.com. I'm not a great photographer, but I love to take food photos with Freddy Cat to bring a smile to people's day. I love to cook and share good food with other people. I have a very large collection of cookbooks. I used to enjoy being able to look up recipes on Zaar by ingredients I had on hand. I miss the Zaar tag game community. Everyone was so nice, and it was super fun. Ah, the good ol' days.
