  1. We really enjoyed this healthier version of rice pilaf. Great flavor! The extra cooking time (for the brown rice) is worth it - the rice was fluffy and scrumptious! I followed the recipe EXACTLY and I wouldn't change a thing! Made for Photo Tag.
     
  2. I cut the recipe in half (because there are only two of us in the house), and it came out perfectly. The rice cooked in about 35 minutes and tasted great. Thank you for helping me make fluffy brown rice that my husband will eat without complaining!
     
  3. Really easy and really tasty. I used all chicken stock instead of water for extra flavor. Also great with mushrooms sautéed with the onion and pepper.
     
  4. Great recipe.
     
  5. Crazy good !!! I used mostly chicken stock for this for more flavor. I used mushrooms as well and red bells too as the others stated . Oh my goodness , The smell of it cooking , is enough to make you faint !! Yummo!

  1. Absolutely Perfect! Because of the main dish I was making, I used Beef broth instead of chicken broth. It cooked perfectly and looked beautiful and my family loved it!
