“I have made this at least a dozen times now, with either ghee or olive oil depending on my mood. It is phenomenal every time! The rice is lemony without being overwhelming and has that buttery taste of rice pilaf even when cooked with olive oil. It’s my go-to ” — a cook, 5.0★
“We just had this last night. I tweaked it by adding a bit more broth and then some Greek seasonings (dill, mint, oregano) extra garlic & lemon. It was so good! Everyone in the house has separate allergies & this amazingly suited everyone! Thank you f” — a cook, 5.0★
