I lost my connection while printing, so I went by memory and used Olive Oil...I also added celery and garlic and omitted the tarragon. It still turned out good...I used frozen green beans and red pepper from my garden...mmmmm good!

An excellent side dish, appeasing in taste and presentation. We used almond slices instead of slivers so they cooked a little too fast. Next time I would oven toast them and add them with the rice.
