How to Make Baked Spanish Rice
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in an oven-safe Dutch oven or large oven-proof skillet with a tight-fitting lid.
- Sauté 1 medium onion (chopped), 2 cloves garlic (minced), 1 stalk celery (chopped), and 1/2 green bell pepper (chopped) until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
- Add 1 ½ cups converted long-grain rice and cook, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, for 3 minutes.
- Carefully pour in 2 ½ cups chicken broth, 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes (undrained), and all remaining ingredients.
- Stir well to combine. Bring to a gentle simmer on the stovetop over low heat for 5-6 minutes.
- Cover the Dutch oven tightly with the lid.
- Transfer to the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed. If the rice seems dry before the 35 minutes, add 1/4 cup of water or broth at a time and continue baking.
- Remove from oven and let stand, covered, for 5 minutes.
- Fluff with a fork before serving. Enjoy!
