The first forkfull I took of this I choked a bit, I think because it was such a sudden and unexpected 'wakeup call' to my taste buds.

This is a fantastic rice dish. It dresses up even the most ordinary meal, and it's good enough to serve to company. I did just that last night when I prepared a roasted Trader Joe's organic chicken that had been marinated with oranges and their juice, fresh bay leaves, fresh rosemary, and garlic. Along with fresh green beans Almondine -- a fabulous -- and easy -- meal, which our guests loved.
