"A tasty dish all by itself, or used as a side. I usually use long grain brown rice which takes approx. 40-45 minutes to cook, or long grain white rice, which takes approx 20-25 minutes. If you use instant rice or other kinds, you will have to adjust the amount of liquid and cooking time accordingly to manufacture’s directions. This recipe can easily be cut in half or doubled."
