    This recipe is amazing! The rice came out perfectly seasoned and the vegetables were so fresh. I added some black beans and it was a hearty meal.

    A great recipe! I like to add a little bit of chicken broth to the rice while it heats to give it extra flavor and moisture.

  • Joany Feest

    I like to add a can of Rotel tomatoes to give the rice even more flavor and spice.

    The tip about using day-old rice was spot on! It kept the rice from getting mushy.
