Added chopped onion and red and green bell peppers. I used brown rice instead of white. The colour of the rice wasn't very outstanding so next time I'll add a few drops of yellow food colouring. My rice was slightly soggy but getting the ratio of liquid to brown rice takes some practice so I don't fault the recipe for this. It's just a matter of experience. This was is a flavourful one pot meal that was fairly easy to throw together and was enjoyed by everyone.
