This was great! The only change I'll make next time is less cayenne pepper, it was a little too spicy for my kids so I add sour cream to theirs to cool it down.

I will make again becasue it is delicious and healthy but I was somewhat dissapointed. I felt it needed some tweaking. I used dried beans and added a good amount of salt because of that. I would probably double the spices next time except the cayenne. The rice was wetter than I expected. It was a lot of liquid for that amount of rice called for but maybe that's the way it's supposed to be? Make sure you get the good quality basmati (mine at Sam's Club). You should always rinse it of the startch so it doesn't stick together. I didn't do this for the recipe but now I know to do it for the future. I didn't use any meat and didn't have any of the optional ingredients on hand though I'm sure they would have added a nice touch.

This recipe was fantastic, and oh-so-easy! I doubled the spices, and used half with the rice, and the other half while browning the turkey. I used veg stock, but I'll try chicken stock next time and also use strips of chicken breasts rather than turkey (though the turkey was delicious). We served thickened plain yogurt (strained yogurt through cheesecloth for a day) ontop. It made enough to feed an army, but it's versatile enough that we can change the leftovers into burrito fillings, etc.

WOW! These spices all mix so well and it's so flavorful without being overpowering. It's so easy to make too! I did make a yogurt dip that some one else suggested with two 6 oz cups of plain yogurt, the juice and zest from half a lemon & some of the fresh cilantro. We had a friend over for dinner and she loved it and so did we!

I followed the recipe except that I reduced the beans and stock, and cooked half the spices with the meat and the other half with the rice as per several reviewers' suggestions . It was ok. Im sure this tastes good for the recipe it is; maybe Im just not crazy about this particular spice combination--although I like Middle Eastern spicing. If I were to make it again I'd probably add raisins and some cinnamon, just to give it some contrasting flavor-- needs a little sweetness or something. I added a generous squirt of ketchup, maybe it was my attempt to add some sweetness.

Great flavor, you will think that all the spice in the rice is going to be crazy. After you mix, it all makes sense. I would recommend that you add the cilantro and parsley, it gives it a very nice edge. The chicken broth has enough salt, so you won't need to add any. If you have the spice's, it is an inexpensive meal to make. I will make this often. Thank you Juliep - Good stuff...

I didn't add any beans. Used 2.25 cups of broth. Added about 5 cups of baby spinach. Topped with crumbled feta. VERY VERY GOOD. THe spinach stretches the meal, and like other reviewers said, is like an herb. I didn't add turkey to the rice, but instead made a turkey meatloaf.

Excellent recipe--I've made it twice now. My only modifications include browning the turkey in some salt and spices (as others suggested), simmering the turkey in the rice/broth mixture for a few minutes before adding the beans, and doubling all the spices except the cayenne pepper. It's very simple and nutritious, but also really delicious. It's great to pack and eat cold for lunch the next day!

Wow I don't know what to say. I loved the spice combination and the beans and chickpeas. The rice, well not so much. I would use Jasmine rice. This recipe has inspired me to create my own dish. I would use jasmine rice, tomato juice in place of broth, green or jalapeno peppers and top with cheese at serving time.

I made the vegetarian version of this and thought that it was wonderful. It was a great quick and healthy meal. The coolness of the cold cucubmer & tomato salad that I served with it was a nice compliment to the rice and beans.

I would make this again. I followed some suggestions of others as well as my own impulses and made the following changes: 1) Used 3 tsps curry in place of coriander & turmeric. 2) I used HEAPING tsps of spice in the rice (except for cayenne). 3) Use no more than 3 cups broth. 4) Saute an onion before browning meat. 5) Add same spices to meat while simmering (and I slow cooked it for a while!). 6) Used only 1 can each of beans. 7) Did not use cilantro, parsley, or pine nuts. 8) Added golden raisins.

I found this recipe to be a little bland. It's missing some sort of acid, like lemon juice or something. I had to top with salsa and sour cream for added flavor. I agree that raisins would be a good addition, but I'm not a super-fan and won't be making it again.

I enjoyed this dish. At first taste i wasn't sure because of the seasonings.. I wasn't familiar with them.On second,third and fourth taste.. I REALLY ENJOYED IT. I did use only 1 can of each of the beans, which for me was enough. i had company that day so i had extra taste buds for review and they liked it also.Next time i will add a little more spice. It's a reall nice change from the everyday meal.
