Yesterday I tried making Mediterranean rice for the very first time. It started with tomatoes, peppers, olives, herbs, tofu, and a little bit of faith that it would all come together.

The good news? It looks pretty good.

The bad news? I have no idea how it tastes yet.

We’re taking it to some friends, so they’ll be the official guinea pigs. Hopefully they won’t ask me to never make it again. 😄

Have you ever made Mediterranean rice?
