SPANISH RICE PRONTO

My Mom used to make this, and I found her recipe - it's from a 1968 Minute Rice calendar as September's feature. I've made a few changes though - using a little olive oil instead of 1/4 cup of fat like the original recipe, and adding 1 can of tomatoes and 1 small can of tomato sauce, sometimes I use black olives instead of green ones or both. This is a quick and hearty dinner, excellent with a salad.

Tips:

  • To achieve the perfect texture for your Spanish rice, use a combination of long-grain and medium-grain rice. Long-grain rice will provide a fluffy texture, while medium-grain rice will add a slight chewiness.
  • Sautéing the rice in olive oil before adding the liquid helps to enhance its flavor and prevent it from sticking together.
  • Use a flavorful broth or stock as the liquid for cooking the rice. This will add depth and complexity to the dish.
  • Adding diced vegetables, such as bell peppers, onions, and tomatoes, will enhance the flavor and nutritional value of your Spanish rice.
  • Season the rice with a blend of spices, such as cumin, paprika, and garlic powder, to create a flavorful and aromatic dish.
  • If you want a crispy texture, cook the rice in a single layer in a large skillet or paella pan.
  • For a softer texture, cook the rice in a covered pot or Dutch oven.
  • Let the rice rest for a few minutes after cooking to allow it to absorb any remaining liquid and develop its full flavor.
