NOTES : Simple and delicious, this dish makes use of highly aromatic peppers,

adding a level of sophistication to even the simplest of meals. When making this

dish, use the habañero pepper whole if you want less heat, and dice it if you

like more heat. Since habañero peppers are immensely hot, you cook with them to

flavor the rice, but most palates are uncomfortable eating these peppers whole.
