Easy Pleasy Spanish Rice Recipes

EASIEST SPANISH RICE RECIPE

Steps:

• Saute onion in oil over medium heat. Cook until tender, about 5 minutes.
• Mix rice into skillet, stirring often. When rice begins to brown, stir in chicken broth, salsa, garlic salt and cumin.
• Reduce heat, cover and simmer 20 minutes, until liquid has been absorbed.
• I double this recipe to make a lot of rice. You do the work once and have enough to last my family 2-3 meals.
• I let rice cool and then freeze in freezer bags, that way I only have to mess up the kitchen once for a few extra meals.

THE BEST SPANISH RICE RECIPE (MEXICAN RICE)

Steps:

• Place the tomato, onion, garlic and salt in a blender or food processor and blend until smooth, then set aside.
• Add the oil to a large skillet over medium heat. When the oil is hot, add the rice and cook for about 5 minutes or until golden brown, stirring constantly so it doesn't burn. Add the tomato mixture to the skillet (be careful, it will sizzle and splatter) and cook for 2 minutes while stirring. Add the chicken broth, stir, and cover with a ild. Reduce to a simmer and cook for about 30 minutes or until the liquid is totally absorbed. Fluff with a fork to stir in the tomato bits that have risen to the top. Serve warm.

EASY SPANISH RICE

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan set over medium heat, melt together olive oil and butter. Add rice and stir to coat with oil/butter. Cook, stirring frequently, for about 2 to 3 minutes, until rice is toasted.
• Stir in chicken broth, tomato sauce, chili powder, cumin, garlic salt, oregano, and diced tomatoes (if using). Increase heat to high and bring to a boil, stirring occasionally. Stir well, reduce heat to low, place lid on pot, and cook at a gentle simmer for 20 minutes (or whatever amount of time is directed on your bag of rice; see NOTES below). If rice is not quite tender or liquid is not absorbed after 20 minutes, replace lid and cook for 2 to 4 minutes longer. Remove from heat, leave covered, and allow to rest for a few minutes. Fluff rice with a fork and serve.
