I made this alcohol free and it was so tasty. I used homemade lamb broth because that is what I had on hand, freshly squeezed orange juice in place of the dry sherry, rinsed and soaked white Basmati rice, sweet butter (unsalted), fresh button and fresh portobello mushrooms, plus the rest of the ingredients. I did forget to toast the pecans but I guess it would make it even better. I don't use a microwave but we ate it right away. I may make this again with the fresh orange juice substitute.

I'm just me, mother, grandmother...friend to many and a Louisianian. My Cajun and French Quarter Italian descent afforded me exposure to some of the best of foods. My passions are my family, decorating, cooking and gardening. Those very passions push me into constant awareness with always looking for something new to delight the senses, thus my favorite idiom...Inspire me, puuuullllllleeeeeeease! ...and I mean it, too. God Bless America!
