* Real* Spanish Rice image

I have been making this for 40 years and shared it with everyone. My family loves it. So I decided I should share it here as well.

Categories     Long Grain Rice

Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 cups rice
3 cups water
1 teaspoon beef bouillon
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon chili powder
1/2 chopped green bell pepper
1/2 chopped onion
2 chopped garlic cloves
1 chopped tomato
olive oil

Steps:

  • Using a Teflon pan- place olive oil in the pan and when it is hot add rice -- fry until nicely brown.
  • Reduce heat -- add bell pepper, onion, garlic and continue to sauté. After about 5 minutes or so add water, tomato ,chili powder and salt.
  • Place lid on skillet and turn heat down, simmer gently.
  • When the water has all evaporated-10-15 min later- slide the lid off of the skillet about half way so the steam will escape so your rice is not wet.
  • (While rice is simmering check it to see if you need a little more water. I don't add much water as I don't like my rice mushy and keep in mind that the veggies added have moisture as well---be sure to taste it before serving -- I actually add more chili powder than this as I like mine spicy).
  • Serve.
