The rice was a bit dry, but the sauce was delicious. I'll try cooking the rice for a little less time next time.

I was skeptical about the boozy part, but I was pleasantly surprised. The alcohol added a subtle flavor that really complemented the other ingredients.

This recipe is a keeper! The rice was fluffy and the sauce was rich and decadent. I added a bit of extra spice to give it a kick.
