“Really easy, fast, and delicious! Great combination of flavors, especially the smokiness of the paprika! This is also a shining example of why I like the BB comments section and feedback directly from Beth or the BB team. I had everything except for white rice” — a cook, 4.0★
“I am very happy to report that I stubbornly used leftover rice anyway and it turned out great! I basically followed all the steps, except I didn't add the uncooked rice and I used maybe 3/4 cup of broth. Then after everything else simmered down a bit, I dump” — a cook, 4.0★
