This is a great, easy way to make a delicious side dish when cooking Mexican for dinner. My kids really love it, too. Substitutions for spices and vegetables are fine -- add the tastes that your family likes most. You can make this on the stovetop in a skillet with a lid, as well. Bring all ingredients to a boil and stir well; cover and simmer for 25 minutes or until rice is soft. If you add some of the optional ingredients, this can be an excellent main dish. Try adding chopped green chile peppers. Tastes great with the Enchilada II recipe.

Tips:

  • Use the right kind of rice: Short-grain or medium-grain rice is best for Spanish rice, as it absorbs the flavors of the other ingredients well and cooks up fluffy and tender.
  • Rinse the rice before cooking: This removes the starch from the rice, which helps to prevent it from becoming sticky.
  • Sauté the rice in olive oil: This helps to toast the rice and bring out its flavor.
  • Add the other ingredients in the right order: Generally, you'll add the vegetables first, then the liquid, and then the rice. This helps to ensure that the rice cooks evenly.
  • Let the rice rest before serving: This allows the rice to absorb all of the flavors and become even more tender.

Conclusion:

Spanish rice is a delicious and versatile dish that can be served as a main course or a side dish. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you like it spicy or mild, with or without vegetables, Spanish rice is sure to please everyone at your table.
