I thought this was very tasty. I didn't use instant rice. I made regular white rice and didn't add water when I put in the stewed tomatoes. I stirred in about 1 and 1/2 cups of the cooked rice and it worked fine. Will definitely be making this again!

cub - sounds like you used regular long grain rice instead of instant rice. I've done that before and it makes for a long wait for dinner!!

I followed the recipe exactly, except that I used olive oil instead of vegetable oil. After removing it from the heat and letting it stand for 10 minutes, the liquid still had not dissolved. I put the skillet back on the heat, covered it, and let it simmer for about 15 minutes. This dish lacked a little in flavor for me. I had to add a little table salt to mine after it was done. My husband liked it, however I don't think we'll put this into our regular meal rotation after all.
