I love this recipe. It makes a great lunch item. Make the recipe and you have a healthy lunch for 5 days. I always add a whole cucumber to eat with it on the side besides what is already in there. The addition of the feta just makes it all that much better. - 7/1/10

I have used this recipe for years - I love the Moosewood cookbook. Typically put all the spices (sometimes use cinnamon & garam masala) in with the boiling water and the rice so the perfume permeates the grains with flavor! Add the tomatoes just before serving - they get mealy if stored in frig. YUM - 5/9/10
