ELSWET'S DELUXE SPANISH RICE



Elswet's Deluxe Spanish Rice image

The base recipe for this came from the Wise Encyclopedia of Cookery [1970's version]. my Wife has adapted the recipe and, over the years, perfected it. This is rich without being heavy. It is creamy without being too liquid. It is spicy, but not uncomfortably so, and goes with just about anything you wish to serve it with. We have it most often with home made chimis or broiled steak. ;) Hope you love it as much as we do. We use brown rice, as the carbs are less, and my Lady is diabetic. Feel free to substitute white rice, as you wish. To make the chicken stock of boullion cubes, 6 chicken cubes to 6 cups hot water and stir until the cubes are completely melted.

1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 ounces cream cheese
3 large black olives, thinly sliced

Steps:

  • In a four-quart sauce pan, over a medium heat, heat the oil. Add in the brown rice and cook, stirring constantly until rice is lightly toasted. [This step requires constant attention.].
  • Add chopped onion, green onion, bell pepper, celery, garlic, salt, cayenne pepper, chili powder, and cumin. Stir until blended, and continue cooking until onions begin changing translucent.
  • Add tomatoes and chicken stock [or bullion water]. Return to boiling, reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for approximately 20 minutes.

  • NOTE: This may be served as a side dish, or with sliced smoked sausage, shredded chicken or beef, shrimp, or other seafood and served as a main dish. Also, if you want it more spicy, you can add in the cumin and cayenne while you are toasting the rice. That will breatly enhance the heat level of these spices. Hope you enjoy it!

QUICK DELUXE SPANISH RICE



Quick Deluxe Spanish Rice image

Provided by My Food and Family

Categories     Home

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 pounds ground beef
0.5 cups rice
1 cans tomatoes
1 units salsa
1 ounces shredded cheddar cheese
1 cans generic chili
1 units black olives
1 units corn
1 handfuls corn chips

Steps:

  • Brown ground beef on medium setting, and poke it while cooking to break up the meat. When it's turned color but not very brown, add rice and let it cook until it's opaque or golden. Watch carefully and stir occasionally.
  • In about ten minutes, pour in the diced tomatoes. The liquid will be enough for the dish but if you think you need more don't hesitate to add a little water. Add a thin layer of salsa on top and cover with lid. Turn down heat to simmer or low.
  • Now shred your cheese and get any other additions you want to add. Look at your pan and see if the rice has fluffed up. It should take more than twenty minutes.
  • Add the can of chili and the additions and stir. Recover for just long enough to heat chili through, about ten minutes, and then add cheese and handful of corn chips. Cover and turn off burner.
  • Uncover in 10 minutes if you want crisper chips. Serve with a salad or vegetable and this is a meal!
