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!
