Ingredients

Recipe Tips

When cooking the rice, make sure to keep the lid on the skillet to prevent the steam from escaping. This will help the rice cook evenly and absorb all of the liquid. To make this recipe even more authentic, you can use saffron instead of cumin. Saffron is a key ingredient in many Spanish rice dishes and adds a unique flavor and aroma. Just be aware that saffron can be expensive, so use it sparingly. Lastly, if you have any leftovers, you can store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply microwave or reheat on the stove with a little bit of water or broth.
