"This is great rice! Yummy! I omitted the olives and cheese (I guess you could sprinkle some cheese over your serving to melt but I just didn't think it needed it) and used a whole jar of diced pimento..." See mores. Very colorful and very tasty! This will accompany many maindishes in the future! Thanks Michele!"
