Restaurant Spanish Rice image

This is a simple flavorful rice that I came up with to as a compromise for my picky eater daughter. It closely resembles the rice served at the local Mexican restaurants in San Diego.

Time 35m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 teaspoon olive oil
1 teaspoon butter
1/2 sweet onion, diced
1 cup rice
2 cups water
1 chicken bouillon cube
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt (less if regular salt)
1/4 cup mild canned enchilada sauce (not salsa)
1 -2 tablespoon grated carrot
1 -2 green onion, for garnish

Steps:

  • Saute onion in oil until translucent.
  • Add rice and saute a few more minutes.
  • Add remaining ingredients and bring to a boil.
  • Stir, cover and reduce heat to simmer.
  • Simmer for twenty minutes without removing lid.
  • Fluff with a fork and serve with chopped green onions on top.
  • Note: The mild enchilada sauce adds flavor without adding spiciness. If using hot enchilada sauce, I would cut the amount in half at least.
