How to Make Authentic Spanish Rice
- In a medium bowl, whisk together chicken broth, cumin, chili powder, salt, and El Pato tomato sauce.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add rice and cook, stirring frequently, until lightly toasted (about 5 minutes).
- Add diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté for 1 minute, until fragrant.
- Pour the seasoned broth mixture over the rice. Bring to a boil.
- Reduce heat to low, cover the skillet tightly, and simmer for 15 minutes without lifting the lid.
- After 15 minutes, turn off the heat. Let the rice sit, covered, for 5-10 minutes to allow the remaining moisture to be absorbed.
- Fluff the rice with a fork before serving. Enjoy!
