Fantastic! So full of flavor - my husband loved it so much, he asked me to make it again the next day. Thank you Rachel!

Love this rice dish. First I don't eat pork so I used turkey bacon. I cooked the turkey bacon in evoo, then added grated garlic, red chard and seasonings and cooked til the chard was wilted, then i added the rice to coat with all that goodness, through it all in my rice cooker and added only 1 cup of stock. OMG my husband almost didn't leave me any, next time i'll make double the recipe. Thanks Rachael

I've made this twice and both times it turned out great! We love the taste and it was a good side dish for broiled steak as well as a roasted chicken. I, too, cut back to one tablespoon of olive oil and used low sodium chicken broth because of the salty bacon. I'm glad to have another "greens" dish in my recipe box that the whole family will eat.
