This is the first rice I’ve made in quite a while that I’ve been really happy with. It’s simple but packed with flavor, and it went great with our cilantro tilapia and black bean salad. This is barely a recipe, but I think it’s worth posting because we really enjoyed it. Next time, I’d add a lot more of the chopped shallots….cooked until starting to carmelize, they really added a lot to the rice and I would have loved to have some in every bite.
