    I made this tonight and I was delicious! I followed the recipe to the T – the quantities are spot on, and your instructions are very easy to follow. 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 ❤️

    I 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?
