• Preheat oven to 350-degrees.
• Place 3 quarts uncooked rice in large roasting pan (lightly sprayed with cooking spray), spread evenly. Set aside.
• In a large stock-pot, combine water and salt. Bring to a rolling boil.
• CAREFULLY pour boiling water over rice and stir so rice is even along the bottom.
• Immediately cover tightly with aluminum foil. Make sure you have a tight seal around ALL the edges.
• Place roasting pan in oven and bake for 40-45 minutes or until rice is tender.
• Fluff with a large wooden spoon & serve.
• **Note: If you want to wait to serve, just keep in the oven at 150 degrees or so or keep warm in an electric warming pan. Add a little water if necessary to keep from drying out.

EASY SPANISH RICE

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan set over medium heat, melt together olive oil and butter. Add rice and stir to coat with oil/butter. Cook, stirring frequently, for about 2 to 3 minutes, until rice is toasted.
• Stir in chicken broth, tomato sauce, chili powder, cumin, garlic salt, oregano, and diced tomatoes (if using). Increase heat to high and bring to a boil, stirring occasionally. Stir well, reduce heat to low, place lid on pot, and cook at a gentle simmer for 20 minutes (or whatever amount of time is directed on your bag of rice; see NOTES below). If rice is not quite tender or liquid is not absorbed after 20 minutes, replace lid and cook for 2 to 4 minutes longer. Remove from heat, leave covered, and allow to rest for a few minutes. Fluff rice with a fork and serve.

SPANISH RICE FOR A CROWD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Have 2 steam table pans (12x20x2-inch size) ready. Heat the oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add the rice, onion, and bell pepper. Cook, stirring, until the onions are soft and the rice is lightly browned. Add the tomatoes, bacon bits, salt, sugar, pepper, chili powder, and broth to the pan. Stir well to combine. Divide the rice mixture between the steam pans. Place in the oven and bake at 325 degrees F for 55 minutes or until the liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender.

EASY BAKED MEXICAN RICE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Add dry rice to a mesh sieve and rinse under cold water until water runs clear.
• To a blender or food processor, add tomatoes, onion and approximately 2 Tbsp of the minced cilantro. Process until smooth. This should yield around 2 cups, but if there's excess, discard any amount more than 2 cups.
• Add vegetable oil to a large, oven safe pan (I love to use my Le Creuset buffet casserole dish), and heat over MED heat. Add rice and saute for about 5-10 minutes, until fragrant and lightly golden.
• Add garlic and jalapeño and stir about 30 seconds or so, until fragrant. Add tomato puree, tomato paste, chicken broth and 1 tsp salt. Stir to combine and bring to a boil.
• Cover and bake about 25-30 minutes, until liquid is absorbed, stirring halfway through. Fluff rice with a fork, squeeze lime juice over rice and stir in cilantro and green onions.
• Taste and adjust by adding more salt or black pepper, if needed.

AUTHENTIC SPANISH RICE - AN OLD FASHIONED SPANISH RICE RECIPE

Steps:

• Melt lard in a large skillet; add rice and cook, stirring constantly until lightly browned. Do not burn.
• Once browned, add water and bring to a boil.
• Once the water has mostly absorbed, add broth and cover over low heat.
• Let simmer and cook for approximately 20 minutes. Stir often so that a crust doesn't form. If it does, do not scrape it.
• Once the rice is fluffy, add drained Rotel (keep the juice) and tomato sauce. Stir.
• If the rice isn't perfectly fluffy, add the reserved Rotel liquids, turn off heat and cover until the rice steams to perfection.

CROWD SIZE SPANISH RICE

Steps:

• 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.
