EASY AUTHENTIC SPANISH RICE



Easy Authentic Spanish Rice image

My family loves a variety of ethnic foods, but this is one of their favorites. My niece, who is of Spanish descent, lives with us and has tweaked my old Spanish rice recipe to make it just like her grandma's. My mother-in-law has also added this recipe to her school meals menu (minus the jalapeno), and it is a hit with the students and faculty.

BEST EVER EASY SPANISH RICE

My wife says this is the best Spanish Rice ever, thus the name. This is a simple compliment to any Mexican-style meal, or any meal for that matter. The secret? Jasmine rice instead of the typical long-grain rice.

Time 25m

Yield 4 , 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 cup jasmine rice (uncooked)
2 cups water
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 cups water
1 knorr caldo de tomate bouillon cube (or similar Tomato Bouillon with Chicken Flavor cube)

Steps:

  • In a microwave-safe dish (I use a 2-cup Pyrex measuring cup), add 2 cups water and 1 Knorr Caldo de Tomate bouillon cube. Microwave for 2 minutes to heat water. Use a wooden spoon to carefully crush and mix the cube of bouillon in the water. It does not have to be perfectly mixed in, but you do want to get it dissolved.
  • In a 4-quart or larger saucepan on medium-high heat, add 1 tablespoon olive oil.
  • Add uncooked jasmine rice and to the pan, and stir constantly until rice is browned slightly. This should take about 1 minute.
  • Add the water carefully, and bring to a boil.
  • Cover saucepan, reduce heat to low, and cook for 20 minutes.
  • At the end of cooking, fluff rice with a wooden spoon. If the rice looks too damp, leave uncovered and allow to cook for a few more minutes while stirring to prevent burning.

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/2 cups long grain white rice
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/4 cup onion, finely diced
4 ounces el pato salsa fresca (or tomato sauce if you cant find el pato sauce)
2 1/2 cups chicken broth
1 teaspoon cumin
1 tablespoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon sea salt

  • add diced onion, minced garlic, sauté for 1 minute.
  • add seasoned broth, bring to a boil.
  • reduce heat to low, cover and simmer for 15 minutes. do not check on the rice before the 15 minutes is up, this will allow steam to escape and may make your rice turn out undercooked.
  • most of the water will absorb before the 15 minute time limit but keep covered and continue to steam for the entire 15 minutes. this will make for perfect rice that isnt crunchy.
  • after 15 minutes turn heat off, uncover & flip rice over. recover & let sit until everything else is ready. you can let the rice sit covered for up to 25 minutes which will cook out most of the moisture & leave perfect fluffy rice.
