My changes
As I said, I made a few alterations.
- I didn’t have Worcestershire sauce on hand, so I used a low sodium soy sauce for flavor.
- I used brown rice and it didn’t cook after 3 hours. The next time, I would use cooked rice or add the uncooked rice after the first or second layer of veggies. This way, when the juices are bubbling, it will cook the rice. Last night, I stirred and let it cook for another hour.
