We were amazed by how flavoursome it was, especially without onions or garlic! This is going to become a regular dinner, and I can’t wait to cook it for friends. Thank you for sharing ❤️

April 23, 2017 at 7:37 pmI just made this recipe and converted it for an electric pressure cooker. Besides cutting back a tad on the water, I also had to cube the potatoes, because of course, they went in raw, not cooked. Worked like a charm, and very tasty.
Can you suggest a second dish to complement this one that I could serve along side it and the rice?
