    I left out the salt to decrease the sodium amount and used white rice as well. Excellent side dish and so easy to make. - 2/16/10

    Good change from plain old boring white rice or traditional Spanish yellow rice. Less salty. I used white rice. The onions and olive oil give it a good flavor. I probably will make this again. Thanks for sharing! - 6/3/09
