How to Make Spanish Rice Mix

  1. In a large bowl, combine all dry ingredients (see below).
  2. Package the rice mix into reusable cloth bags or airtight jars, making them ready for gifting.
  3. When ready to cook: In a large saucepan, combine the rice mix with 28 ounces (794g) of canned crushed tomatoes (with their juice), 1 ¾ cups (420ml) of water, and 1 teaspoon (5ml) of margarine or butter.
  4. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.
  5. Reduce heat to low, cover the saucepan, and simmer for approximately 25 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
  6. Fluff with a fork before serving. Enjoy!
