Cooking Notes
Highly recommend this recipe. Easy, so flavorful. Used dried parsley and thyme as no fresh on hand.
This is one of the best rice dishes ever created. It is so flavorful plus accompanies many entree dishes so well when you are seeking something slightly different from plain rice. I use Jasmine rice because I like the fluffiness of it. Plus I always make an extra recipe or 2 of rice because kids find it just as yum yum as adults.
