Spanish Rice Recipe
Spanish rice is a traditional Mexican rice side dish. Add variety to the dish by mixing in frozen green peas or corn, together with sauteed bell peppers and onions.
Ingredients:
1 cup long grain white rice
1 tablespoon vegetable oil, lard, or bacon drippings
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
2 cups water
2 medium sized tomatoes, finely chopped
or 3/4 cup canned tomatoes, drained and chopped
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper or to taste
Cooking Instructions:
In a heavy saucepan, saute rice in oil over medium heat until golden brown. Stir in together the cumin and garlic powder, cooking for 30 seconds, stirring constantly. Immediately, add water (carefully! it will steam vigorously), tomatoes, salt, pepper, (and any optional vegetables, as desired). Reduce heat to low and simmer, covered with a tight-fitting lid. Let cook for 20 minutes. Remove from heat, remove the lid and allow to stand for 5 minutes. Fluff with fork.
