"If you enjoy Mediterranean flavors, you'll enjoy this. Best freshly made. This makes a lot of hearty rice. I haven't tried it yet, but if you want to try to half it, you might try a loaf pan or smaller casserole dish. Vegetarian. Created for a recipe contest."

There is no lack of flavor in this rice. It came out just the way I had hoped, full of Greek influence that I know and love. Prepared this way the rice was fluffy and yummy!
