A lovely quick and easy recipe. I'll make again but will play around with the toms and broth. It is very ingredient dependent, if that makes any sense. Thanks for posting!

this was a great dinner and a great way to use up some holiday ham! We added some frozen corn and spinach (needed to use up) to the mixture and served the rice separately. thanks for a wonderful dinner!

This recipe is awesome! Instead of using white wine I used chicken broth, also substituted jasmine rice for long grain rice. This is a keeper!
