  Made my own variation of it and I was surprised how much I loved it. Wanted a rice dish and had some mushrooms that needed to be used ... came out with this easy delicious dish. One of my favorites now.

  Cheap and tasty. It kept well too in the fridge: I had it for tea four nights running! I think the cardamom makes this - don't be tempted to leave it out. I followed the recipe as above and didn't think it needed any amendments.

  Really lovely. On first reading the ingredients I wondered if I ought to add a bit more to it to make it more flavoursome. However, I stuck to the recipe (although mine needed more stock and I had no chives) and it came out really tasty. Will definitely do again, possibly served with a poached egg or some grilled chicken to make more substantial.

  Really tasty dish, added a couple of bay leaves and used chicken stock instead of vegetable. Will definitely be making again and again.
