This was very good. Not sure why it’s had only one previous review. Important to note that it needs salt, which isn’t mentioned in the recipe. I added 1/8 tsp while sautéing the onion (didn’t have shallots), and another 1/4 tsp with the water. Keeper.
This recipe is easy to follow and has a wonderful aroma and flavor.
