We're trying to watch our cholesterol by eating a few vegetarian meals each week. The first time I served this I didn't call it "vegetarian" which is probably by my husband agreed to try it. He loved it and went back for seconds. We've talked about making it with brown rice and just haven't gotten around to it yet. If you try it that way please be sure to let me know how it comes out.
