Recipe Tips

To make sure your rice cooks evenly, be sure to stir it occasionally while it's simmering. If you don't have any fresh cilantro on hand, you can use dried cilantro instead. Simply add it to the pot along with the rice and water. If you're not a fan of green chilies, you can use diced red bell pepper instead. This will give the rice a slightly sweet flavor and a pop of color. Finally, if you want to make this recipe vegan, you can use vegetable broth instead of water.
