I was disappointed in this recipe; it looked so good in print and I was interested in expanding my repertoire of grains. Turns out it was very bland and mushy. I'd appreciate suggestions on how to make this recipe more interesting.

IF I make this dish again, I will definitely use something other than cumin.
