This is a great, easy way to make a delicious side dish when cooking Mexican for dinner. My kids really love it, too. Substitutions for spices and vegetables are fine -- add the tastes that your family likes most. You can make this on the stovetop in a skillet with a lid, as well. Bring all ingredients to a boil and stir well; cover and simmer for 25 minutes or until rice is soft. If you add some of the optional ingredients, this can be an excellent main dish. Try adding chopped green chile peppers. Tastes great with the Enchilada II recipe.

Time 30m

Yield 5

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 tablespoons oil
2 tablespoons chopped onion
1 ½ cups uncooked white rice
2 cups chicken broth
1 cup chunky salsa

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a large, heavy skillet over medium heat. Stir in onion, and cook until tender, about 5 minutes.

Tips:

  • Choose the right rice. Medium-grain rice, such as Valencia or Bomba rice, is the traditional choice for Spanish rice. These rices have a higher starch content than long-grain rice, which helps to create a creamy and flavorful dish.
  • Rinse the rice before cooking. This will help to remove any excess starch and prevent the rice from sticking together.
  • Use a good quality broth. The broth is an important flavor component in Spanish rice, so it's important to use a good quality broth. You can use chicken, beef, or vegetable broth, depending on your preference.
  • Sauté the vegetables before adding the rice. This will help to bring out their flavor and add depth to the dish.
  • Add the rice and broth to the pot and bring to a boil. Then, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer for 18-20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and all of the liquid has been absorbed.
  • Let the rice rest for 5 minutes before serving. This will help the rice to finish absorbing the flavors and become fluffy.

Conclusion:

Spanish rice is a delicious and versatile dish that can be served as a main course or a side dish. It's a great way to use up leftover rice, and it can also be made ahead of time and reheated. With a few simple tips, you can make perfect Spanish rice at home every time.
