  I want to try this one before younger son heads back to University. It's something he could do easily within the constrictions and limitations of a kitchen in a hall of residence!

  I love it and make it quite often. I prefer it with slightly more stock so it stays moist, and when I don't have broccoli, I use a couple of wedges of savoy cabbage or brussel tops cut into quarters.

  This was so yummy, but for some reason our rice took FOREVER to cook! Almost over 1 hr... very strange. I think we'll defnitiley make this again, might try some other variations next time though.

  Easy family supper. Made it exactly as per recipe first time, nice and lemony but a little lacking in flavour. Today I added 1tsp of ground corainder and left our garlic (going dancing tonight!) and added 1/2 a red pepper that needed using up - tasty. This will def' be a regular in our house as it's simple, versatile, light on the washing up and the kids (5&8) love it.

  What an amazing recipe! I once replaced the broccoli with green asparagus and it was equally divine.

  Delicious! I also found it needed more stock, I also had to pre-soak the brown rice so it cooked quicker. The kids devoured it and I'll definitely be making it again.

  Sorry to folks, I agree with Benjamin, very bland. Thought I had forgotten to add something as it was 'so' bland however that wasn't the case. Dull!

  It didn't taste of anything. I'm suprised that it is so highly rated by others.

  Agree with a couple of other posters. It is much too bland. Needs pepping up with spices.

  This is delicious, leaving me feeling full and is a healthy reciepe perfect for winter detoxing!! However it would be nice if it had more veggies!! So I would add extra leaks next time I make it. Maybe peas too.
