Review-Middle Eastern 'Sweet Spice' Brown Rice

[Guest guest]

My partner made this for lunch on the stovetop today, using brown rice

we had leftover--It was so lovely! We both especially enjoyed the way

the cinnamon, cumin and lemon juice tasted with the bell pepper and

pine nuts. Great recipe, Petro--Thank you!

 

Peace,

Maureen
