How to Make Real Spanish Rice
- 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).
- Reduce heat to medium. Add the chopped bell pepper and onion. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, until softened.
- Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- Pour in the water, diced tomatoes (undrained), chili powder, and salt. Stir well to combine.
- 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.
- Once cooked, remove from heat and let stand, covered, for 5 minutes. Then, carefully fluff the rice with a fork before serving. Enjoy!
