For a richer flavor, use vegetable or chicken broth instead of water. A pinch of smoked paprika can add a wonderful depth of flavor. This dish can be made ahead of time and reheated; the flavors will meld even further. Consider adding a squeeze of lemon juice at the end for a bright, acidic finish. Feel free to experiment with different vegetables, such as carrots or zucchini.
