Of course, I don't believe this dish is Spanish at all, but rather Cajun from Louisiana. I made it quite often in the 1960s. Then - as now - in home cooking, one had to watch the cost, and rice was an inexpensive way to fill out a meal; after all, rice feeds half the world.

1/4 cup olive oil
2 onions, finely chopped
2 green bell peppers, seeded, ribs removed, and diced
2 ribs celery, finely chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup long-grain white rice
One 8-ounce can tomato sauce

1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon cumin (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan over medium heat, then add the onions, green peppers, and celery and sauté until soft, about 3 minutes.

Season with the salt and pepper, and add the cumin, if using. Bring to a boil, lower the heat, cover, and simmer for 20 to 25 minutes, until the rice is done, stirring once or twice.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my rice turned out mushy. I'm not sure what went wrong.

This dish was a little too bland for my taste. I think it needed more spices, like cumin and paprika.

I've tried making Spanish rice before, but this recipe is by far the best. The rice was fluffy and flavorful, and the sauce was rich and tangy. I will definitely be making this again!
