This is confusing me -- do you cook it in a microwave or in a regular oven? The "cook at 100 percent power" indicates microwave, but "50 minutes" indicates a regular oven. And if it's a regular oven, what temp? The recipe sounds delicious but I'm very confused. Thanks!
It’s definitely meant to be cooked in the microwave, but 50 minutes seems like a crazy long time. Is this soup or a side dish? Why would it call for 5 cups of broth?
