This is the best rice dish I have ever put in my mouth. It is different from anything I have ever eaten. The flavors are wonderful. I will now be serving this for guests (as well as family) from now on because it is so impressive. Thank you.

I love cilantro and wanted to serve this to my vegan guests, so I substituted veggie broth from a dry mix (surprisingly good, btw) for the chicken stock and milk, and margarine for the butter. Delicious! I thought it was a very good Mexican rice side dish. Smelled wonderful while cooking, too! Will definitely make again.

Yuuuuumm... this dish has a really authentic flavor. I made this with brown rice rather than white, so I increased the cooking times a little. I also subbed turkey stock and baby spinach leaves. Excellent, though. I'll be making this again! I actually had this with fish, but I think I will have to break out the recipe again next time I make enchiladas or tacos. Super easy, too! Thank you!

While I served this rice with grilled chicken, it's easy to imagine how good it would be with chicken enchiladas. I also plan to try it without cilantro as a base for florentine dishes. Since we're concerned about fat, I browned the rice in only 1 tbs. of butter which seemed to work fine.

This is stupendous! So beautiful and aromatic. I've been making this for years, since I first got the recipe from you on another cooking site. You have a talent for sharing the BEST recipes.

I am a rice lover and this was exceptional, and beautiful too. I served this with grilled chicken breast and glazed carrots, I also served it on ice blue plates, it was a beautiful presentation. The cilantro flavour was so subtle, even non cilantro loving people would enjoy this.

I made this the first time for my brother's fiancee's wedding showeer and everyone thought it was so yummy. I have made it several times since then. My husband hates cilantro and loves it. My kids hate things that are green and they love it. I serve it with stuffed pork tenderloin with cilantro-lime pesto. Big flavors, smells wonderful.

this is a beautiful, incredibly flavorful rice dish. the green color looks wonderful and i didn't tell my sons that it was from spinach and cilantro. we all loved it and i will double it next time. we all wanted seconds! i served it with grilled sausages and marinated tomatoes - a nice, colorful plate.

Incredible rice dish! Everyone was quite fond of it. I used vegetable stock because of my vegetarian DD's. Thanks ever so much for sharing! (Personally, I am not a cilantro fan, so next time I'll use all spinach- but everyone else loved the flavor!)

This really is a wonderfully imaginative way of fixing white rice. The flavor was incredible and went equally well with both chicken and steak, though I can definitely see how it would be satisfying alone with a glass of wine! Thanks, PetitFour. I will make this one again and again!
