Kraft Kitchens Tips

Cooking Know-How

For an extra spicy-hot flavor, leave the seeds and membrane in all or half of one of the jalapeno peppers.

Best of Season

Substitute other fresh herbs from your garden or local market for the cilantro. Use chopped fresh basil leaves for an Italian flavor or a combination of chopped fresh mint or parsley for a Moroccan flavor.

This dish is pretty good. I used brown rice and added chopped hard fried eggs to make it more like a fried rice. The eggs added tons of flavor...I added one egg per person. This fed four people! I also added orange and red bell pepper for color and little extra kick! Overall, very good.

This was definitely easy to make and it seemed healthy. It didn't have a whole lot of flavor, besides the jalapenos. Even though I discarded the membranes and seeds, it was still a little too hot for my tastes. I would add some other sort of spices next time.

Very good. Excellent blend of flavors. I mused the seeds from the jalapenos to make it spicy. Only negative was that the rice was chewy.
