💡 Tip: Blend half the cilantro with water and add it to the rice liquid; the green color and deep aroma come from this. Work salt and spices into the sofrito before adding hot water.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Scatter remaining cilantro leaves on top and serve with salsa criolla and boiled egg if desired.
