I made this as a side-dish for our dinner tonight. It was not bad, but not really as nice as I'd expected it to be. I would definitely add about 1/2 tsp. of turmeric powder to this to change the colour from the dull one it had. I didn't have wheat germ on hand, so I had to omit that. It was allright as a side-dish.
