Have you ever tried this recipe with brown rice?

gwencampbell 2 years, 3 months ago said:
No, I have not made this with brown rice. I am sure it would be just as tasty. The white rice shows off the colors better and I am sure brown rice would certainly be healthier for you! Thanks for your comment.

Yes, the 20 minutes helps the flavors meld and the spinach wilt. Hope you like it!!
