Notes
- Be careful not to over-or under-cook the rice. Rice should be dense and fluffy, with all the liquid fully absorbed.
- Adjust seasoning as desired. We recommend starting small and tasting along the way!
- Use fresh parsley. Believe us, fresh parsley will add so much more flavor to this dish, plus an awesome pop of color!
