    I made this last week and it was delicious - added a whole packet of chestnuts (200gms) and a 350grm butternut squash. Recipe made enough to have two large portions each, then reheated the leftovers (another 2 portions) with some butter and a little water to soften up the rice again. Would definitely make this again!
