AUTHENTIC SPANISH RICE

Steps:

• in a bowl combine broth, cumin, chili powder, salt & half a can of el pato sauce (if you can't find el pato use regular tomato sauce).
• brown rice, in hot oil, in a large skillet for approximately 5 minutes flipping occasionally.
• add diced onion, minced garlic, sauté for 1 minute.
• add seasoned broth, bring to a boil.
• reduce heat to low, cover and simmer for 15 minutes. do not check on the rice before the 15 minutes is up, this will allow steam to escape and may make your rice turn out undercooked.
• most of the water will absorb before the 15 minute time limit but keep covered and continue to steam for the entire 15 minutes. this will make for perfect rice that isnt crunchy.
• after 15 minutes turn heat off, uncover & flip rice over. recover & let sit until everything else is ready. you can let the rice sit covered for up to 25 minutes which will cook out most of the moisture & leave perfect fluffy rice.

THE BEST SPANISH RICE RECIPE (MEXICAN RICE)

Steps:

• Place the tomato, onion, garlic and salt in a blender or food processor and blend until smooth, then set aside.
• Add the oil to a large skillet over medium heat. When the oil is hot, add the rice and cook for about 5 minutes or until golden brown, stirring constantly so it doesn't burn. Add the tomato mixture to the skillet (be careful, it will sizzle and splatter) and cook for 2 minutes while stirring. Add the chicken broth, stir, and cover with a ild. Reduce to a simmer and cook for about 30 minutes or until the liquid is totally absorbed. Fluff with a fork to stir in the tomato bits that have risen to the top. Serve warm.

SPICY SPANISH RICE

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a frying pan and cook the onion for 5 mins until soft. Add the pork and fry a few mins to brown it a little.
• Tip in the garlic, rice and paprika, stirring briefly. Stir the saffron into the bouillon, then pour this in as well. Add the pepper, cover the pan, reduce the heat and simmer for 25 mins before mixing in the beans. Cover and cook for 10 mins more.
• Add the prawns, cover again and cook for 2 mins until the rice has absorbed all the liquid. Stir in the parsley and serve with lemon wedges.

BEST EVER EASY SPANISH RICE

Steps:

• In a microwave-safe dish (I use a 2-cup Pyrex measuring cup), add 2 cups water and 1 Knorr Caldo de Tomate bouillon cube. Microwave for 2 minutes to heat water. Use a wooden spoon to carefully crush and mix the cube of bouillon in the water. It does not have to be perfectly mixed in, but you do want to get it dissolved.
• In a 4-quart or larger saucepan on medium-high heat, add 1 tablespoon olive oil.
• Add uncooked jasmine rice and to the pan, and stir constantly until rice is browned slightly. This should take about 1 minute.
• Add the water carefully, and bring to a boil.
• Cover saucepan, reduce heat to low, and cook for 20 minutes.
• At the end of cooking, fluff rice with a wooden spoon. If the rice looks too damp, leave uncovered and allow to cook for a few more minutes while stirring to prevent burning.

THE BEST AUTHENTIC SPANISH RICE

Steps:

• Pour rice into a deep pot and stir in enough oil so that every grain is coated.
• Cook rice on medium and constantly stir, using a spatula, until it becomes a light toasted color (20-25 min), be careful not to burn.
• Add onion and green pepper, cook until they become soft, add more oil if needed.
• Stir in tomato, cook for 2-3 minute.
• Tilt pot, remove any excess oil w/ spoon.
• Sprinkle bouillon and garlic salt over rice (DO NOT STIR).
• Pour water over rice (DO NOT STIR), then cover.
• Bring to a boil, then lower heat and cook for 25-30 min, or until most liquid evaporated (DO NOT LIFT LID DURING THIS TIME).
• Pick out large pieces of veggies w/ a fork and discard, (this step may be omitted if you chopped your veggies, I have picky eaters).
• *This rice actually tastes better when cooled, and then heated in the microwave, as any remaining liquid is evaporated.
