This makes a lot, I cut the recipe in half and there was still at least enough for at least 4 servings. This isn't a bad thing however because it delicious. I did swap out the rice in favor of barley and I don't think that it suffered from the swap at all. The seasonings all play very nicely together. It was a great choice for these cooling Fall days and evenings. Thanks for sharing. :D
