Fast, easy, and delicioso! If you use the recipe and make the sauce yourself, you will have a lot of sauce. Perhaps make the rice to serve with enchiladas, or reduce the recipe so not to waste it.

EASY AUTHENTIC SPANISH RICE



Easy Authentic Spanish Rice image

My family loves a variety of ethnic foods, but this is one of their favorites. My niece, who is of Spanish descent, lives with us and has tweaked my old Spanish rice recipe to make it just like her grandma's. My mother-in-law has also added this recipe to her school meals menu (minus the jalapeno), and it is a hit with the students and faculty.

This recipe has been told to me by my girlfriends MIL from Mexico. I had to measure the ingredients.

I am always asked to make it!

Emily Hockett, of Federal Way, Washington says, "I prefer this side dish to traditional recipes because it's vegetarian and lower in fat. While you're preparing the rest of your meal, it simmers on the stove, allowing the flavors to blend beautifully."

SIMPLE SPANISH RICE



Simple Spanish Rice image

This is something my grandmother used to make, but she never used a recipe. It took me a long time to figure out just what she did. I think this is as close to hers as it gets. It's just a simple rice side dish, but if you add a pound of cooked ground beef or chicken you can serve it as a meal. I hope you enjoy.
