I prepared the grilled trout and the veggies with saffron rice. I have 3 boys and 1 girl. My daughter, who is a very picky eater, loved it, along with the boys. There wasn't one teeny piece of veggie left...the boys complained that there wasn't enough rice. Will be doubling it the next time. Do NOT add any salt to rice...was a bit too salty (we never add too much salt on anything) for everyone but they ate every bit anyway.
