Very tasty, will definitely make them again. I was skeptical about putting the uncooked rice in them, but I did as the recipe said and I''m glad I did. The uncooked rice soaked up the juices that would have come out of the mushrooms and other vegies, and in that process the rice cooked nicely. The pastry is a very tasty alternative to normal ''unhealthy'' pastry, a handy one to know about.
