THE BEST SPANISH RICE RECIPE RECIPES

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan over medium heat, heat oil. Add onion and pepper and cook until softened slightly, 3 to 4 minutes. Add rice and cook, stirring frequently, until toasted and lightly golden, 4 to 6 minutes. Stir in chicken broth, tomato sauce, lemon juice, chili powder, garlic powder, oregano, and cumin. Season liberally with salt and pepper. Increase heat to high and bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and bring to a gentle simmer. Cover with a lid and cook until all liquid is absorbed, 15 to 18 minutes.  Remove from heat and let rest for 3 to 4 minutes, then remove lid and fluff rice with a fork. Season to taste with salt and pepper, top with cilantro, and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Pour rice into a deep pot and stir in enough oil so that every grain is coated.
• Cook rice on medium and constantly stir, using a spatula, until it becomes a light toasted color (20-25 min), be careful not to burn.
• Add onion and green pepper, cook until they become soft, add more oil if needed.
• Stir in tomato, cook for 2-3 minute.
• Tilt pot, remove any excess oil w/ spoon.
• Sprinkle bouillon and garlic salt over rice (DO NOT STIR).
• Pour water over rice (DO NOT STIR), then cover.
• Bring to a boil, then lower heat and cook for 25-30 min, or until most liquid evaporated (DO NOT LIFT LID DURING THIS TIME).
• Pick out large pieces of veggies w/ a fork and discard, (this step may be omitted if you chopped your veggies, I have picky eaters).
• *This rice actually tastes better when cooled, and then heated in the microwave, as any remaining liquid is evaporated.
