* Real* Spanish Rice image

I have been making this for 40 years and shared it with everyone. My family loves it. So I decided I should share it here as well.

Categories     Long Grain Rice

Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 cups rice
3 cups water
1 teaspoon beef bouillon
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon chili powder
1/2 chopped green bell pepper
1/2 chopped onion
2 chopped garlic cloves
1 chopped tomato
olive oil

Steps:

  • Using a Teflon pan- place olive oil in the pan and when it is hot add rice -- fry until nicely brown.
  • Reduce heat -- add bell pepper, onion, garlic and continue to sauté. After about 5 minutes or so add water, tomato ,chili powder and salt.
  • Place lid on skillet and turn heat down, simmer gently.
  • When the water has all evaporated-10-15 min later- slide the lid off of the skillet about half way so the steam will escape so your rice is not wet.
  • (While rice is simmering check it to see if you need a little more water. I don't add much water as I don't like my rice mushy and keep in mind that the veggies added have moisture as well---be sure to taste it before serving -- I actually add more chili powder than this as I like mine spicy).
  • Serve.

I'm going to try this recipe but I'm going to make a few changes. I'm going to use brown rice instead of white rice and I'm going to add some black beans and corn.

This recipe is just okay. It's not bad but it's not great either.

I'm not a fan of the sofrito in this recipe. I think it overpowers the other flavors.

This recipe is a bit too time-consuming for me. I'm looking for something that's quicker and easier.

I followed the recipe exactly but my rice didn't have much flavor. I think I'll add some more spices next time.

This recipe is way too spicy for me. I had to add a lot of sour cream to cool it down.

I'm not sure what I did wrong but my rice turned out mushy. I'm going to try it again and see if I can get it right.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover rice. It's also a great side dish for any Mexican or Latin American meal.

I've tried many Spanish rice recipes but this one is by far the best. The secret is in the sofrito.
