Spanish Rice Dinner has been a family favorite since I discovered it in our church cookbook. I always have the ingredients on hand, and it reheats very well in the microwave. -Jeri Dobrowski, Beach, North Dakota.

I got the basic idea from Jeri Dobrowski from Beach, North Dakota who sent it in to the " Taste of Home " people. I found it in one of those recipe booklets you can buy at places like Wal-mart, and the grocery stores.I didn't have everything that her recipe called for, so I improvised and used what was on hand, plus I added a few extras :) .I will list her ingredients in parenthesis.Thanks Jeri for a very good idea. :) As this is written it would serve 4,but if you served it with a side salad and garlic bread you might be able to get six servings.Submitted to Food.com ( a.k.a.

Tips:

  • To make the perfect Spanish rice, use a medium-grain or short-grain rice, such as Valencia or Bomba rice, as it absorbs the flavors of the other ingredients better and holds its shape after cooking.
  • Use a large skillet or paella pan to cook the rice, as this will help it cook evenly and prevent it from sticking.
  • Sauté the vegetables in a little olive oil before adding the rice, as this will help to bring out their flavors and prevent them from becoming soggy.
  • Use a flavorful broth to cook the rice, such as chicken broth, vegetable broth, or even a combination of both.
  • Add a pinch of saffron to the rice for an authentic Spanish flavor, and adjust the amount of salt and pepper to taste.
  • Let the rice rest for a few minutes after cooking before serving to allow it to absorb all the flavors.
  • Serve the Spanish rice with your favorite toppings, such as grilled chicken, shrimp, or vegetables.

Conclusion:

Spanish rice is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for lunch or dinner. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its vibrant flavors and colorful ingredients, Spanish rice is sure to be a hit at your next gathering.
