"This was a good dish but not great. The cooking time for the pork, after searing, was much too long. I reduced it to 15 minutes and it was still well done. I used two pork tenderloins, 1 lb. each, as called for. The rice was good but could use more garlic. I used a bottled mango salsa and it was excellent with the pork. If I had a mango, I would h"

"I had no truffles but was looking for a way to use fresh corn and bay scallops. This was so simple I had no idea the impact would be so wonderful. I did not use Essence to season the scallops but some Paul Prudhomme Seasoning Salt (close but not exact). I used it sparingly too. I had a full pound of scallops and cooked them all. I served them besi"

"I love sweet potatoes and cannot believe I waited so long to try this dish. I usually do sweet potato fries.
I served this as a side with barbecued baby back ribs. Since it seemed to be very sweet, as were the ribs, I added a little heat with cayenne pepper sprinkled with the cinnamon. Sensational!! ""

"This stew lived up to it's 5 star billing. I only changed it a bit. I had no fresh mushrooms, so I used some dried porcini (1/4 oz.) soaked in warm water. I saved a 1/4 c. of the soaking liquid and added it to the liquids in the stew. Of course, I had to skip the browning of the mushrooms step, but used the butter to saute the other vegetables. I ""

"This was a great recipe for a simple prep. I had one of those ceramic upright roasting dishes and I filled the hollow with white wine and dry sherry and a clove of crushed garlic. Other than that, I made as written. My chicken was done in less than an hour on 375 degrees convection. I let it rest lightly covered with foil for about 15 minutes befo""

"Just made the chicken. Sensational!! I was worried about the rub, that it would be too strongly flavored. I let the chicken sit in the refrigerator for about 5 hours, then baked in a 400 oven for about 45 minutes. I used whole leg quarters, our favorite. I did not have any mango, but had a bottle of curry mango grill sauce by Stonewall Kitchen. It""

"In response to some of the reviewers who claimed this was bland: "What did you serve it with?" Last night we had some pork tamales that I made from scratch and served this as a side dish. My homemade tamale sauce was quite spicy and this dish was the perfect complement. The texture was creamy but not mushy, much like a risotto. I followed the reci"

"My go to stuffed pepper recipe from now on. I used a combination of peppers I had in my garden; poblano, sweet banana, jalapeno and some mini tri color peppers. I blanched them for about 3 minutes, but found that is not necessary with banana peppers. They are pretty delicate. For the filling, I only had 1 ear of grilled corn, but I added a chopped"
