I just tried this recipe and wasn't very happy. If I hadn't been

home it would have been burnt to a crisp and super dry. I added more

water and shortened the cooking time and ended up with a good flavor

but very bad texture and apperance.

 

Just thought I would share. I am sure it could be adapted to cook in

the oven or on the stove top.
