This is wonderful and perfect for an early fall dinner by including fresh corn and peppers. It makes a lot and as a large side dish with chicken for two, I had at least five more individual servings left over, which I froze. I braised the chicken thighs using white wine at the end. This was perfect with the rice. It took longer than 15 minutes covered -- about 25 minutes -- for basmati rice but it was worth it. Next time though, I'll start the thighs later.
