  • Don't skip the step of letting the rice sit for 10 minutes after cooking. This helps the grains absorb any remaining liquid and makes for a fluffier texture.
  • You can add other vegetables to this dish, such as carrots, celery, or zucchini.
  • If you want to make this recipe even more festive, add some dried cranberries or chopped pecans to the mix.
