It is often combined with cooked ground meat, such as sausage or ground beef, and sometimes vegetables like onions and bell peppers. The mix is designed to be fully incorporated, ensuring that every grain of rice and piece of meat is coated with the savory spice blend. It is usually added towards the end of the cooking process or mixed into the finished rice.
