I've been a longtime fan of your site, but this is my first time commenting.. I just couldn't resist, after making this recipe. We're snowed in here, and I needed something to warm me up and make me think of the upcoming spring. Well, you've outdone yourself. The only change I made was to add a few tablespoons of lemon juice, and used oyster mushrooms because that's what I had on hand. Thanks a ton for this idea! Hi Deb!

We left out the artichokes -- we didn't have any and it's simply too expensive to buy fresh ones :( -- and used a regular onion instead of shallots (my husband does the grocery shopping based on lists I make and he didn't know what they were, haha). We also made Pioneer Woman's steak bites and it was simply an amazing meal. Thanks so much for posting this! It's wonderful to have an alternative to plain rice.

This took wonderfully to modifications I made due to ingredients on hand. Used creminis, added a diced red pepper to the onions after they were tender, proceeded as directed but added one shredded zuchinni with the rest of the veggies at the end (all veggies supplied by my local organic veggie delivery). This was brimming with color and just amazing. Oh, I also added about 1/2 tsp of freshly grated lemon zest at the end - that really reminded one 'spring' is in the air. Thanks again!

It's absolutely lovely. We went to the farmers market this morning and picked up everything in one fell swoop. I used morrels instead of the shitake because that's all the market had in season, and barley instead of rice because my husband is diabetic, and the barley has a lower GI. I also added a few fresh sage leaves because they are taking over my garden. Thanks for the ideas! I just finished making this for dinner tonight. It’s absolutely lovely.

I feel good vibrations about this (I must prove it). Instead of water, why don't you use skimmed milk?. I love your site. Bye.

I always used to do that by default when I was one. Mostly, it's tagged as vegetarian because I'd hate for someone to miss an otherwise totally veg-friendly recipe just because of the chicken stock, but I suppose a little more clarification could help.

Why do you call recipes vegetarian and then have chicken stock in the ingredients list? I know that I can substitute vegetable stock with it and have the exact same results, but I don't understand why you 1) call the recipe vegetarian, 2) can't just use vegetable stock? This is not a combative comment. I LOVE this site...just hoping for an explanation I love your website so much, but one thing has been bothering me.

It is so wonderful and really hit the spot with me and my husband. We both just cozied in with a bowl each and watched Grey's Anatomy. What a great meal for a super cold (below zero!!) night.
