Mediterranean Spiced Rice With Apricots image

This recipe comes from the package of apricots I have in my pantry. I love the flavors of the Mediterranean and thought this sounded yummy. If you would like and have some cooked chicken, you can shred the chicken and add to the dish along with the apricots for a light main course.

This was my first time making Mediterranean spiced rice with apricots, and it turned out great! The rice was fluffy and flavorful, and the apricots added a nice touch of sweetness. I will definitely be making this again!

I'm allergic to apricots, so I substituted dried cranberries instead. It was still delicious!

This recipe was a disaster! The rice was mushy and the apricots were burnt. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.

I thought the apricots were a bit too sweet for my taste, but other than that I really enjoyed this recipe. The rice was cooked perfectly and the spices were very flavorful.
