Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients you use, the better your Spanish rice will be. Look for fresh, flavorful vegetables, and use a good quality rice.
  • Cook the rice properly: Rice is the key ingredient in Spanish rice, so it's important to cook it properly. Rinse the rice before cooking to remove any starch which can make the rice gummy. Cook the rice according to the package directions, or use the following method:
    1. Bring 2 cups of water to a boil in a medium saucepan.
    2. Add 1 cup of rice and stir.
    3. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 18 minutes, or until the rice is tender and all of the water has been absorbed.
    4. Remove from heat and let stand, covered, for 5 minutes before fluffing with a fork.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: Spanish rice is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. You can use any type of vegetable you like, but some common choices include bell peppers, onions, tomatoes, corn, and black beans.
  • Add some protein: Spanish rice is a vegetarian dish, but you can add some protein if you like. Some popular choices include chicken, beef, or shrimp.
  • Season the rice well: Spanish rice is a flavorful dish, so don't be afraid to season it well. Use a combination of salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and cumin. You can also add other spices, such as chili powder or paprika, to taste.
  • Serve immediately: Spanish rice is best served immediately after it is cooked. It can be served as a side dish or as a main course.
