• 1. Add olive oil to large pot and heat. Add diced anaheim pepper and rice and dry spices, mix to combine well. Add rotel and water and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook 20-25 min. Be sure to check your rice package for water to rice ratio and cooking time, as many brands differ.

SPANISH RICE FOR A CROWD

Steps:

• Heat oil in large frying pan over medium heat. Add onions and cook until tender, about 5-7 minutes. Add rice to skillet, stirring often, until rice begins to brown. Add green pepper and diced chilies. Then add water (or broth) and chunky salsa to rice; cover and cook until all liquid has been absorbed (at least an hour). Stir regularly during this cooking process to be sure it doesn't stick. We used an 8-quart pot to cook this rice. It nearly filled the pot, but did not run over. A larger pot would probably be better and cause the rice to be a little less sticky. Since our crowd had so many children, we made this very mild. Adding hot peppers, medium or hot salsa, and either chicken broth or vegetable broth would add flavor and a little zip to this dish.

Reduce heat to low, cover, and cook until broth is absorbed and rice is tender, 20 to 25 minutes.
• Remove from heat. Discard bay leaves. Transfer to a bowl.
