Spanish Rice Recipe

This is the recipe I use to make Spanish rice in my home. I decided awhile back to stop buying  prepackaged rice dishes.  They are overpriced, over salted and nothing spectacular.  This recipe is the result of many batches of rice.  I purposely kept ingredients to pantry ready items.  I think you will be pleased with the results.

Spanish Rice Recipe

1 1/2 cups converted/parboiled rice  (holds up well to simmering with the tomatoes without getting too soft)

15 oz can of Hunt’s fire roasted tomatoes

3 cups water

2 packets of powdered chicken base ( I use Goya Cubitos Pollo)

1 tsp. paprika

1 tsp. dried cilantro

1 tsp. chili powder

1/4 tsp. minced garlic

1/4 tsp. Kosher salt

1. Put all ingredients except rice into a sauce pan and bring to a boil.

2. Add the rice, allow to come back up to boil.  Reduce heat to simmer & cover.

3. Rice will be done when liquid is absorbed (about 20 minutes)
