Great flavor

My family loved this dish. We are always trying new dishes and this one made it to the "make again pile" which is saying a lot. Even the raisins didn't taste as weird as it might seem..

Not enough spice

Made this for supper and it was good but we enjoy a little more spice in our food. Easy to put together. I thought that it made to much rice for just the two of us..
