I'm not a fan of nuts, so I omitted them from the recipe. It was still delicious!

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my rice came out mushy. Maybe I added too much water?

I added some dried cranberries to the recipe and it gave it a nice tart flavor.

I'm allergic to mushrooms, so I substituted them with bell peppers. It turned out great!

This recipe was a disaster! The rice was overcooked and the flavors were all wrong.
