Spanish-Style Rice with Nested Arugula

When I was a kid in Montana, my mom used to call this dish “Spanish Rice.” I make it a little differently. Arugula and fresh cilantro were way too “exotic” to find on the menu in Montana back then, but now they’re mainstream.

Use last night’s leftover rice for tonight’s meal.
