It's an easy recipe and tasted pretty good but I didn't find the measurements accurate. I thought it was a bit funny that it called for 2 cups of rice and only 1 cup of water even with the tomato juice. I ended up adding 15 oz of tomato sauce since that's what I had on hand and another 2 cups or so of water. I also added some salt and pepper and Italian seasoning to give it some more flavor. It took longer to cook the rice than 15 minutes but it turned out well.
