    We enjoyed this recipe but I had to add considerably more water in an effort to get the rice properly cooked. All other ingredients were added as suggested in the recipe. It's a good tasting, healthy meal. We'll prepare it, again.

I agree that it needs a bit more water or tomatoes (used cut up frozen tomatoes from the freezer that I had from my mother this summer) and put more than a cup in, making this recipe turn out really good!
