QUICK SPANISH RICE
Great side dish for your Mexican fiesta. Try with Recipe #17130! It is as good as you'll find in any Mexican restaurant. Update: 1 teaspoon cumin was added to original recipe. I took some of my reviewers suggestion and added 1 teaspoon of cumin to the recipe. They were right. Cumin definitely adds to the taste.

Steps:
- Bring the water to a boil in a saucepan with a lid, sprinkle in the rice, stir in the salt, and cover. Reduce heat and simmer until the rice is tender and the liquid has been absorbed, 20 to 25 minutes.
- Place the ground beef in a skillet with a lid, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and brown over medium heat, breaking it up as it cooks, until the meat is crumbly and no longer pink inside, about 10 minutes. Remove the beef and skim off most of the fat from the skillet, leaving about 2 teaspoons. Stir the onion and bell pepper into the skillet with the reserved drippings, and cook and stir until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Scoop the cooked rice into the skillet, stir to break up the rice, and pour in the tomatoes and cooked ground beef. Stir everything together, cover, and cook over low heat until the flavors have blended and the dish is hot, about 10 minutes.

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the rice will taste. Use long-grain rice, such as basmati or jasmine, for a fluffy texture. Choose ripe, flavorful tomatoes and bell peppers. And use a good quality olive oil.
- Sauté the vegetables before adding the rice: This will help to develop their flavor and prevent them from becoming mushy.
- Use a flavorful broth: Chicken broth or vegetable broth will add depth of flavor to the rice. If you don't have any broth on hand, you can use water, but add a bouillon cube or some dried herbs for flavor.
- Cook the rice until it is tender but still has a slight bite to it: Overcooked rice will be mushy and unpleasant to eat.
- Fluff the rice with a fork before serving: This will help to separate the grains and make the rice light and fluffy.
Conclusion:
Spanish rice is a delicious and versatile dish that can be served as a main course or a side dish. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With a few simple tips, you can make the perfect Spanish rice every time.
