THANK YOU! I made this for a friend the other night and she couldn't wait to get to her second bowl. The sweet and spicy flavors make this dish a repeater. I had plenty of leftovers to bring in to work the next and the smell had people from all over the building asking where the aroma was coming from. I couldn't find arborio rice or paella rice. so I just used medium-grain rice. The recipe still came out delicious. Most of the time was spent on preparation.
