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.

Time 40m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

¼ cup vegetable oil
1 ½ cups instant rice
1 onion, chopped
1 green bell pepper, chopped
1 (16 ounce) can diced tomatoes

½ cup water
1 tablespoon white sugar
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir rice, onion, and bell pepper in hot oil until the vegetables are slightly tender and rice is lightly browned, 7 to 10 minutes.
