Notes
- If the liquid is absorbed, but your rice is still not done just add a little more broth to the pan and simmer it a little longer.
- You can make this spicy Spanish rice by using your favorite hot salsa.
- You can use brown rice instead of white rice, but you may need to increase the broth amount and simmer the rice a little longer.
