This had many many 5 star reviews that have all been deleted. Why does CL do this? This is a GREAT recipe! Easy AND delicious! I love using Apricot (Simply Fruit) instead of the apple. I also add some thai chili garlic sauce for added flavor. This is good for a busy week night or company, it is THAT good.

Wonderful recipe! I agree with other reviewers that this is a great recipe for an easy weeknight dinner or for a special occasion. The original publication in the magazine suggested grilled zucchini and rice that was made using light coconut milk, and they worked well enough to pass along.
