Real Spanish Rice Recipe

Ingredients for Real Spanish Rice

• 1 cup long-grain white rice
• 1 3/4 cups water
• Beef Bouillon
• 1 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
• 1 tablespoon chili powder
• Green Bell Pepper
• 1 medium onion, chopped
• Garlic Cloves
• Chopped Tomato
• 2 tablespoons olive oil

How to Make Real Spanish Rice

1. Heat olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add rice and toast, stirring frequently, until lightly golden brown (about 3-5 minutes).
2. Reduce heat to medium. Add the chopped bell pepper and onion. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, until softened.
3. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
4. Pour in the water, diced tomatoes (undrained), chili powder, and salt. Stir well to combine.
5. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover the skillet, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until all the liquid is absorbed and the rice is cooked through.
6. Once cooked, remove from heat and let stand, covered, for 5 minutes. Then, carefully fluff the rice with a fork before serving. Enjoy!
