  • I sautéed the garlic then put everything into a rice cooker. Added herbs and lime at the end. It was great. Only thing I think would improve this is to use homemade veggie stock. But it's really great regardless.

  • 真的,真的很好!坚果和过得愉快吗light flavor and was a great way to use herbs from my garden. Made it exactly as written except without marjoram. I tasted it before adding herbs and thought, "woha, big garlic taste!" but that was balanced out perfectly after the herbs. Will definitely make again.

  • I really liked this rice, however, I thought the mint was too much. I'll definately make it again....just skipping the mint.

  • Great rice recipe! Took this and black beans to a football potluck. First dish to run out. Adults and children where asking for more and for the recipe. Used vegetable broth instead of chicken broth so that my vegan friend could eat it also.

  • I personally did not like it, but my wife did. I really felt the marjoram overpowered all the other herbs. I had never had marjoram before and now know I really dislike it's flavor. If you like marjoram than it's probably a really good recipe, but I prefer the recipe for Jasmine rice with garlic, ginger, and cilantro also on the website which I think is outstanding!

  • Fantastic recipe. Very, very good -- definitely a keeper. I love garlic, but I thought "Wow 12 large cloves of garlic!", but after reading the reviews used them all -- glad I did. The flavor of the rice is wonderful, not 'garlicky', but a nutty flavor. No one would ever guess there's 12 cloves of garlic. Used 1/2 C each of the cilantro and parsley; didn't use the other herbs -- this time -- because of the flavor of the chicken entre I was serving with the rice. This is winner.

  • I didn't have any cilantro and I made it in the rice cooker to save time, but this turned out well. It's a very fresh yet substantial side dish.

  • I'm all about the spuds, so I rarely make a rice dish. This one may just turn me around! Loved the goldeny color, the rich, golden umami of the garlic and chicken broth combo, and the tang of the lime and herbs were perfect even though I had no marjoram. Fantastic as a side, and awesome in shrimp soft tacos! I'll be making this again!

  • Very tasty. I didn't have any marjoram, so I just went with the cilantro/parsley/mint combination and it was delicious. I made it with the Grilled Pork Chops w/ Garlic Lime Sauce (also from this site), and I think the flavors were a little too similar. But that's not this recipe's fault. I would definitely make this again.

  • This is a staple rice dish, especially during the summer time. However, I use long grain brown rice (basmati or even brown Jasmine rice is great) to give it some nutritional value. I also use a blend of cilantro, mint and basil and skip the parsley and marjoram. It takes longer to cook due to the brown rice, but it turns out awesome. I'm a garlic lover but I don't feel that the qty called for makes it at all overpowering.

  • This is so yummy! It's pretty easy (even I didn't burn the rice - as I usually do) and the herbs really make it. You can't even tell it has 12 cloves of garlic in it. It's a keeper!

  • This recipe is a refreshing change of pace. I loved the garlic and lime flavors. I used brown rice and it was very tasty.
