BECAUSE it is so versatile, this colorful side dish is one of my standbys. You can serve it with most any entree, and with the "magic" of instant rice, it's ready in a short time. The vegetables add a touch of color while the cashews give this economical dish a "gourmet touch". -Pat Habiger, Spearville, Kansas
