For a richer flavor, toast the rice in the pot for a few minutes before adding the chicken stock. Feel free to experiment with different vegetables, such as zucchini, carrots, or celery. A squeeze of fresh lemon juice after cooking brightens the flavors. For a vegetarian option, substitute vegetable broth for the chicken stock. If you don't have roasted red peppers on hand, you can use jarred roasted red peppers, drained and diced.

Jan 26, 2025I found that 2 teaspoons of red pepper flakes were too much for my taste. Next time, I'll start with 1 teaspoon and add more if needed.
