Directions
In Dutch oven, cook onion and garlic in oil over medium-high heat 3 minutes or until slightly softened, stirring occasionally. Stir in paprika, oregano, thyme, red pepper and rice. Cook 1 minute, stirring frequently. Stir in all remaining ingredients except fresh herbs. Bring to a boil. Cover; reduce heat. Simmer 15 minutes or until rice is tender and all liquid is absorbed. Stir once near end of cooking time. Sprinkle with fresh herbs.
Tip: This Caribbean-inspired one-pan meal is mild in flavor. If your family likes lots of heat, add more cayenne and pass the bottle of your favorite hot sauce at the table.
