Easy & tasty. I'd make it again. At four servings, I think this is meant to be a starter, not a meal.

You are wrong per the Celiac expert at: http://celiacdisease.about.com/od/glutenfreefoodshoppin1/f/Gluten-Free-Rice.htm . You people are just getting ridiculous.

Sorry, not gluten free, due to the rice. Unless your rice is labeled "Gluten-Free", then you are consuming gluten.

Wild rice is the only rice without gluten, otherwise 5% of it's protein is gluten. You're using the 60-year-old definition of GF.

I don't understand why you would add 1 cup of water. I think that is why the recipe gets so bland. I made it with at least half that amount of water and it came out so much better. Also, try adding avocado before serving. So good!

Just tried it and loved it! Having read the comments, I added a bit of paprika and cayenne pepper at the same time as the cumin, then added some jalapeños (and frozen sweetcorn) right before simmering, to add a kick. Tried a drop of hot sauce on once I served it, but didn't really need it that way. Skipped the salt and pepper, it was fine without, plus I didn't have any radishes.
Couldn't get enough!

This recipe is excellent. Usually I don't find the Real Simple recipes that great, but this one was a big success at our house. For those people who thought it turned out a little bland, add a lot more salt and some additional pepper. In home cooking, we all hardly ever add enough salt to our recipes to make them taste good (most likely because everyone in the media scares us that we are going to die from too much salt intake -- but, trust me, whatever we add at home will NEVER be as much as what comes from processed food or a restaurant).

This is one of our favorite meals to make each week now. It is so easy and so delicious. We added paprika and chili powder for some extra flavor. My husband and I both love it! Definitely recommend this.

I made this a few nights ago for my husband and some of the guys he hangs out with for dinner. They all loved it and one asked for the recipe later!
