Love this dish. It was a bit too spicy for my pre-schooler and DH, so next time I'll have to tone down the red pepper flakes & pepper to appease them. A great blend of flavors that, when combined, give this rice some kick!

    This is so good! I sauteed some onion with the butter and pepper and used jasmine rice. I need to add a little more chicken broth, but the rice turned out perfectly. Thank you.

    This was the perfect addition to our pork tenderloin! I loved the addition of the red and black pepper in this rice which really perked it up and made you take notice. I am sure this recipe will be seen a lot in my kitchen. Thanks, Jill for such an easy and delicious addition to our meal!
