I used fresh carrots and broccoli which I added at the same time as the stock, and also added a little more cayenne pepper than instructed and the result was amazing. Excellent recipe! Also very good to fry some chicken and add it at the same time as the tomatoes.

We enjoyed the flavor of this very much. I didn't have enough long grain white so mixed with basmati and brown, which was a wrong move, but still very tasty recipe. Thanks.

My husband really liked this. I used chicken broth instead of vegetable and I used fresh sliced carrots (par-cooked) and frozen peas. It went very well with the Southwestern stuffed chicken brests and cornbread.

This is a very good rice recipe. I did make the following adjustments. I used Garlic Powder instead of the Cayenne Pepper, I used canned stewed tomatoes (drain the liquid into a measuring cup and add stock to the required mark for the recipe. I also used cilantro instead of the parsley. This is a great side dish. My new favorite mexican rice..thanks for a great recipe!!

This was delicious. I served it for 80 people at a party and I had to tell everyone where to get the recipe. I used a bag of mixed vegetables and change the vegies every once in a while. Someone told me to had scrambled eggs and chinese vegetables and it would be as good as a restaurant.

We added extra garlic, several shakes of LA Gold (hot sauce) & a full 15oz. can of chili seasoned diced tomatoes. Like others, we used fresh vegetables (mushrooms) along w/ the frozen peas. Without several seasoning adjustments, the rice would be quite bland.

Weird, my review of this disappeared... I made this with fresh peas and carrots. I also threw in a lot of cumin, paprika, and some tomato paste because, as written, it was quite bland. I served it with 'Chipotle Chicken' from this site. It was very tasty, and I would make it again. Thanks!

This has become one of my fast weeknight recipes. My husband loves it! I often substitute canned diced tomatoes and sometimes forget the green onions and it is still great. I usually serve it with diced fresh mexican cheese and tortillas and turn it into a taco/burrito of sorts. Great to add cooked chicken or beans as well. Don't skimp on the cayenne!

Good, not "wow", not blah, but good. Basic rice with veges added. Went really good with fish, easy enough to make again, but using canned Mexican diced tomatoes for more of a flair. Thanks Michelle!

This was great! Very fresh tasting, and is best served hot. I used fresh veggies, omitted the garlic, and used water for the vegetable stock. I had this with yogurt for a lovely lunch.

I made this rice without the frozen vegetables and I added some more tomatoes. I served it with Mexican Chicken Kiev, Mexican Corn (submitted by Karen Baldridge) and some sauteed peppers . . . My guests loved the entire meal. The leftover rice was great with eggs too.
