SPANISH RICE WITH GROUND BEEF



Spanish Rice with Ground Beef image

Growing up, my mom made a version of Spanish rice with ground beef that was hearty enough that it stood on its own as a main dish. During a visit a few years ago, after missing her cooking desperately, I watched her prepare it and jotted down the recipe. (Don't worry, I checked with my mom and she's totally on board with sharing with you!) Serve on a bed of fresh spinach with a side of refried beans. Garnish with fresh diced tomatoes, green onions, cheese, avocado slices, and crushed chile flakes.

Tips:

  • Choose the right rice. Spanish rice is traditionally made with medium-grain rice, such as Valencia or Bomba rice. These rices have a high starch content, which helps to create a creamy, fluffy texture.
  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. The better the ingredients, the better the rice will taste. Look for fresh vegetables, flavorful ground beef, and a good quality Spanish sofrito.
  • Brown the ground beef well. This will help to develop its flavor and prevent it from becoming dry.
  • Add the rice to the pan and stir to coat it in the oil. This will help to prevent the rice from sticking to the pan and burning.
  • Simmer the rice until it is cooked through. This will take about 18-20 minutes.
  • Let the rice rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help the rice to absorb any remaining liquid and fluff up.

Conclusion:

Spanish rice with ground beef 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 preferences. With a few simple tips, you can make a perfect pot of Spanish rice every time. ¡Buen provecho!
