Recipe Tips

To add even more flavor to this dish, try toasting the rice in the pan before adding the liquid. Simply cook the rice in the oil and onion mixture for a few minutes until it starts to turn golden brown, then proceed with the recipe as directed. Additionally, you can use vegetable broth in place of water for a richer, more flavorful rice. Finally, be sure to use fresh herbs for the best flavor – dried herbs will not have the same impact on the dish.
