Basic Recipe - Works WellJune 07, 2008By hwardsil
"This was easy to make as advertised and is pretty tasty. If you've got time, it gets tastier with some simmering. A good substitution would be blackstrap molasses for the sugar to give the sauce a little more character. Chopped okra would be a nice addition as would some shredded chicken. The yellow rice looked good, but didn't have much in the way of taste - add three or four cloves of chopped garlic, maybe. Anyway - the recipe works and was a snap to make."
