Gil's notes: 

I always make half of this recipe, without the noodles.  Use a tight fitting lid. I cook it in a creuset and let it rest 5 min, then stir.  I don't remember which Lynn gave me this recipes, I've had it for ions. It is a bit more work then throwing rice in a cooker, but it is so tasty. I like the 40 min that I don't watch it so I can prepare the rest of my dinner.
