Comments: 3/10/2018 - I substituted chicken broth for the vegetable broth, and did not add cayenne pepper. I topped it with chopped cilantro.
8/27/2023 - I made a reduced amount with 1/2 cup rice, 1 cup broth, 1/2 onion, and 1/2 bell pepper. I used the full amount of seasonings in the recipe. The rice stuck to the bottom of the pot, but I was able to scrape it off. The cayenne was pretty spicy.
