My family loves a variety of ethnic foods, but this is one of their favorites. My niece, who is of Spanish descent, lives with us and has tweaked my old Spanish rice recipe to make it just like her grandma's. My mother-in-law has also added this recipe to her school meals menu (minus the jalapeno), and it is a hit with the students and faculty.

1 green bell pepper, diced

2 (15 ounce) cans tomato sauce
1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes with green chilies (such as RO*TEL®)

Tips:

  • Choose the right type of rice: For this recipe, use a medium-grain rice like Valencia or Bomba rice. These rices are able to absorb a lot of liquid and hold their shape well, making them ideal for paella.
  • Make sure your pan is big enough: Paella is a dish that is meant to be cooked in a large pan. This allows the rice to spread out and cook evenly. If you don't have a paella pan, you can use a large skillet or Dutch oven.
  • Don't crowd the pan: When adding the rice to the pan, make sure to spread it out evenly. If the rice is too crowded, it will not cook evenly.
  • Cook the rice on low heat: Paella is a dish that is meant to be cooked slowly. This allows the flavors to meld together and the rice to cook evenly. If you cook the rice on too high of heat, the rice will burn.
  • Use a wooden spoon to stir the rice: A wooden spoon is less likely to scratch the pan than a metal spoon. It is also important to stir the rice gently so that you don't break the grains.
  • Let the paella rest before serving: After the paella is cooked, let it rest for a few minutes before serving. This allows the rice to absorb any remaining liquid and the flavors to meld together.

Conclusion:

Guys' Spicy Spanish Rice is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. With its bold flavors and colorful ingredients, this paella is sure to be a hit with everyone at your table. So next time you're looking for a tasty and impressive dish to serve, give this recipe a try!
