Recipe Notes
I mentioned that it is essential that you use the right kind of rice for best results.
Short grain and even medium grain rice is preferred over a long grain rice is suggested. For this particular recipe, Arborio rice (an Italian short-grain rice) is suggested. Also mentioned was that this recipe can easily be made vegan. Simply omit the hard boiled eggs if you choose to make this a Mediterranean diet and vegan recipe. The eggs are provided for both protein and presentation if you choose to keep them.
