I am making this dish today and i love this recipe already. Since its easy to make. Except i didnt have tobassco or thyme so i substituted with goya ham flavor packet and goya and some mojo with it. Well i kinda made it my way with what i got. So thank you for this recipe.
I made it exactly as written (except I omitted the Tabasco as we aren’t fans). We really liked it. And it couldn’t have been any easier.
Sorta combined this with his other rice and ham recipe, red and green peppers and onions first. Cooked basmati rice in the microwave, and added it last.
