Notes
- Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container. They will last about 4-5 days in the fridge.
- Substitutes: For best results, follow the recipe as is. However here are some common substitutes that would work well in this recipe.
- Instead of short grain rice, you can use long-grain rice or brown rice. If you're using brown rice, be sure to add an extra 25 minutes to the cooking time though. You can also use potatoes, riced cauliflower, celery root or chopped zucchini for some grain free and/or low carb options.
- If you don't have oregano, feel free to use thyme, parsley, cilantro or other herbs.
