This was excellent and much enjoyed by everybody. I used tomato paste instead of the sauce and water and stock powder instead of the canned broth which we don't get here. I was especially looking for a rice with vegetables in it so I didn't need another side dish. I chopped about a tablespoon of pickled jalapeno and added that to the rice too. A super easy recipe that I'll be making again soon thank you.

I Love cooking. As a child I was always helping my mother in the kitchen, whether it was stirring up some cake or brownie batter or licking the spoon as a treat. I always tell her if it wasn't for her I wouldn't enjoy cooking as much as I do.
