Recipe View Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving. Enjoy!

For a spicier kick, add a pinch more cayenne pepper or a dash of hot sauce.
If you don't have fresh parsley, dried parsley can be substituted, but use half the amount.
Jasmine rice or basmati rice can be used as alternatives to long grain white rice.
Serve with a side of crusty bread for soaking up the flavorful sauce.
Consider adding other vegetables, such as bell peppers or celery, along with the onion for extra depth of flavor.
