I'm not sure what went wrong, but my dish turned out terrible. The zucchini was tough and the rice was mushy. I'll have to try it again.

This dish was a disappointment. The zucchini was mushy and the rice was undercooked. I won't be making it again.

The zucchini and rice were cooked perfectly, but the dish was a little bland for my taste. I added some salt and pepper, and it was much better.

Easy and delicious! I used brown rice instead of white, and it turned out great. The zucchini adds a nice sweetness to the dish.

This dish is a winner! The zucchini and rice cook together perfectly, and the flavors are amazing. I added a little extra garlic and paprika, and it was perfect.
