"So good...just made it for the first time, and although I burnt the rice (I need to buy a rice cooker badlyy- though the rice was still salvageable) it was still super delicious. I had recently been given some venison and had never cooked with it before but after trimming it it was quite tasty. I always tend to add a bit more liquid and a bit more seasoning into every dish I make so as to make sure to have enough sauce. You can kind of keep track of proportionality in your head- and plus or minus the flavors that you choose...anyways I had a perfect amount of sauce and I think the next time I will just add more mushrooms because they pick up the flavors so beautifully. Oh also I used basil instead of parsley. "

"I loved this dish! I have since made it for numerous parties and it has always been a hit. One alteration I made the second time I made it (and every time since) is I substituted smoked fresh mozzarella. Sometimes I make half the batch with provolone and half with smoked mozzarella- the mozzarella always goes first.
