For a richer flavor, use homemade chicken broth. Toasting the almonds beforehand enhances their nutty flavor. Ensure the rice is cooked until tender but not mushy. Consider adding a splash of balsamic vinegar to the caramelized onions for a deeper, more complex flavor. Use fresh cranberries when available for a brighter taste.
