Spicy Rice

My cousin, who is an amazing cook, gave me this rice recipe years ago so I could learn how to make spicy rice with sausage and jalapenos. It is so flavorful and I love that it is full of onion and green peppers. The cumin makes this recipe in my opinion. Give this one a try!

Tips
I like to use one mild and one hot sausage. If you want it hotter, then use two pounds of hot sausage. 
You can substitute bouillon cubes for bouillon paste. If I only have chicken paste, then I will use that and it works fine. 
Jalapenos are optional. We have used both fresh and the ones out of the jar. You get to decide how hot you want it.
