AUTHENTIC SPANISH RICE
It's difficult to find really good Spanish rice. Most restaurants totally miss the mark on this Mexican staple. This is just like my Mother-in-law used to make.

Steps:
- 1. Heat oil in a large dutch oven over medium heat and brown rice once oil is heated.Fry until the rice is golden.
- 2. Add fresh vegetables and tomato (along with a little of the liquid). Stir and sauté for a bit to soften the onion. The frozen carrots and peas (mixed together in a bag found in the freezer section at the grocery store) is as desired but if I had to measure it out it's probably about ¾ cup.
- 3. Add broth, water and seasonings. Mix well; Bring to a boil; reduce heat to simmer and continue cooking for 20-25 minutes. Rice is ready when the liquid is absorbed and the rice is fluffy.
- 4. *NOTE Do Not use Uncle Ben's rice as it is "Converted" and will not puff up when fried. It will not be light when the cooking process is finished. I usually use an inexpensive store brand because it's what works best.
