RICE COOKER SPANISH RICE
This is a great, easy way to make a delicious side dish when cooking Mexican for dinner. My kids really love it, too. Substitutions for spices and vegetables are fine -- add the tastes that your family likes most. You can make this on the stovetop in a skillet with a lid, as well. Bring all ingredients to a boil and stir well; cover and simmer for 25 minutes or until rice is soft. If you add some of the optional ingredients, this can be an excellent main dish. Try adding chopped green chile peppers. Tastes great with the Enchilada II recipe.

Tips:

This will make a big difference in the final flavor of the dish. - Rinse the rice: Rinsing the rice before cooking will help to remove excess starch and prevent it from becoming sticky. - Use a good ratio of rice to liquid: The ratio of rice to liquid is important for getting the perfect consistency. For Spanish rice, a good rule of thumb is to use 1 cup of rice to 1 1/2 cups of liquid. - Cook the rice until it is tender: The cooking time will vary depending on the type of rice you are using. Cook the rice until it is tender, but not mushy. - Season the rice to taste: Once the rice is cooked, season it to taste with salt, pepper, and other seasonings. You can also add additional ingredients, such as vegetables, meat, or seafood. - Let the rice rest before serving: Letting the rice rest for a few minutes before serving will help it to absorb all of the flavors. ###Conclusion:
