I quite liked this dish! It was easy to prepare and a nice change from plain ole rice. DS thought that it was a little too lemony (I made this with fresh lemon juice), but he's the picky eater in the family. DD had a friend over for supper and this child went back for a big helping of seconds. I left out the zucchini because I didn't have any but made the recipe exactly as directed, otherwise. I doubled the amounts and found that the leftovers made a really great fried rice a couple of days later. Thank you for sharing!

I made this for our first ever at-home greek meal. I sauteed the zucchini and carrots in the butter until soft during step one, and then added the chopped parsley after I removed the rice from the stove. It all came out perfect and tasty and complemented our gyros very well. I will be making this often. It is a new favorite! Thanks Mommy-chef for sharing this recipe!

Cook and ex-restaurant manager and owner. Have worked in every kind of kitchen, in every position...tho' washing dishes wasn't my favorite! Have cooked and served everything from BBQ and Tex-Mex to an Italian - Mediterranean fusion with a steak house and brew pub thrown in for fun!!
Now a stay-at-home mom and photographer. I don't have a favorite cookbook anymore...Thanks to Recipezaar, they are all on the shelf, collecting dust!!
I love cooking for my family and friends, I love anything that has to do with my son (ok, maybe not the potty training).
I love baseball and football (mostly baseball) especially watching it with my family while eating great food...
We love to camp (especially the cooking!) and we love the beach.
