We love anything that is tangy or has bacon. With fennel and tarragon, this is a super savory dish. I use the medley from Minute Rice if I don't have time to make my own. —Ann Sheehy, Lawrence, Massachusetts


Test Kitchen tips
  • While a little red cabbage adds a nice pop of color to this dish, it's fine to go all green instead.
  • If you have a chive plant, feel free to use 1/2 cup of chopped chives in place of the green onions.
