that's a tasty sounding concoction!

The only thing I can suggest to make the best is that the rice is basmati, perhaps boiled with herbs for that extra taste.

I'm hungry now.

That looks sounds so wonderful Aja. I know one of the first meals I'm going to make when we're settled in our new home will be this one!

Umm, Aja? When are you going to write a cookbook? I love ones with a picture of each recipe and straightforward instructions ---- I think you've got what it takes!
