Any suggestions on cooking this in an instant pot?
Sorry, I’m not really sure.
I made this today there’s so much about it that I love but it’s pretty bland. I’m wondering if I did something wrong?
Annette, I’ve made this twice now and have to agree with you. Plus for some reason my rice was undercooked both times even though I cooked it for well over 40 minutes. I ended up adding a can of corn which helped a bit. I usually love the recipes on this show but I think this is the last time making it for me.
Do you think this would freeze well? My dad is visiting in a few weeks and I want to have some plant based foods prepped and ready to go for him! Thanks!
I think it would do great.
Thank you so much!
I just made for the 1st time. It won’t be the last. Although it won’t be a go to recipe for me, it will certainly add variety to my diet. For me, also a nice way to integrate more rice. This channel doesn’t disappoint.
I thought this was great just as is! I was a little shy with the jalapeno and it turned out that I could have used more, but it was still a perfect one bowl meal.
I really enjoyed this! I had leftover rice so just dumped in with 1/2 c of veggie stock. I also added a few squirts of Redd’s hot sauce for extra spice.
