Restaurant Spanish Rice Recipes

SPANISH RICE RECIPE

Steps:

• In a large frying pan on medium heat, add the oil and the rice. Stirring occasionally, cook the rice until golden brown, or about 3-5 minutes.
• Add the diced onion and salt and cook for another 1-2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Add the chicken broth and salsa and stir. Bring the mixture up to a boil, then cover with a lid and reduce heat to low. Keep the rice at a low simmer for 20 minutes, without removing the lid if possible. After 20 minutes, lift the lid and check your rice but do not stir. You may need to cook for up to 5 more minutes, or until all of the liquid has absorbed and the rice is cooked.
• Once cooked completely, turn the heat off and let it sit for 10 minutes, then lightly fluff with a fork and squeeze the fresh lime juice on the rice before serving. Enjoy!

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).

• 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.
