I rarely write reviews anymore for recipes that I choose and make (and I pick a different one to make practically every night, but this was good and I had to speak up since saw some reviews on here stating it was bland. Mine turned out delicious, even the hubby said so! It is easy to make and healthy. I used TJs organic brown rice and Spanish saffron (although I don't feel the saffron was necessary, and Tofurkey Italian sausage, which added a LOT of flavor. I also added some red bell pepper, with the other veggies, which turned out nice. Next time I think I will substitute broccoli for the artichoke hearts (I did not add the liquid, and did use some chicken stock instead. But it was yummy and I will keep making it. Thanks to the reviewers who advised to watch the liquid...it turned out perfect!

this recipe is great and it makes a good amount so it reheats really well. My husband isn't a dinner without meat fan, so I used some smoked chicken that we had stored in the freezer and it was really good! Also I used minute brown rice and just threw it in with the dish so it could absorb all the juices and it was great.

I like the flavor but like one of the previous review - cooked the sausage separately then combined.
