  1. Christina REVIEW:

    I've made this now at least half a dozen times, and my husband and I can't get over how delicious it is...and easy too! The melted Parmesan makes the herbed rice stick together just the right amount. And the house smells delicious just from the basmati rice cooking.

  2. Guest Foodie REVIEW:

    We really enjoyed this dish! I also experimented a little, and added some mushrooms sauteed in garlic and white wine as well, making this a hit at our dinner table!

  3. Guest Foodie REVIEW:

    Easy and delicious! We used herbs fresh from our summer garden and this was a hit! Can be served hot or room temp. A definate keeper!
