Tips:

  • Rinse the rice before cooking to remove any starch and help it cook evenly.
  • Brown the rice in a little oil before adding it to the slow cooker. This will help it develop a nutty flavor and prevent it from sticking together.
  • Add a variety of vegetables to the rice for extra flavor and nutrition. Some good options include onions, peppers, carrots, corn, and black beans.
  • Season the rice with your favorite spices. Some classic Spanish rice seasonings include cumin, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder.

  • Serve the rice with your favorite toppings, such as shredded chicken, black beans, or guacamole.
