For a richer flavor, consider using vegetable broth instead of water. A pinch of smoked paprika can add a delightful smoky note. If you like a bit of heat, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a dash of hot sauce. Garnish with a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt for a creamy touch. This dish pairs perfectly with grilled chicken, fish, or vegetables.
