Spanish Rice
Directions
- 1Grab a frying pan and turn your heat somewhere in between medium and medium high.
- 2Add in 3 tablespoons of oil.
- 3Once the oil is hot, add in 2 cups of rice.
- 4Mix the rice up to make sure that it's well coated in that oil.
- 5Fry the rice for about 7 to 8 minutes on medium, medium high heat until it gets a golden brown color.
- 6Continuously stir the rice during the toasting process to prevent burning.
- 7While toasting the rice, measure out 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, 1 teaspoon of onion powder, about a teaspoon of oregano, about a teaspoon of ground cumin, and about a tablespoon and a half of chicken bouillon.
- 8Once the rice has reached the desired golden brown color, slowly add in 5 cups of water.
- 9Give that a quick mix, and add in your measured spices.
- 10Mix the spices around in the rice and water.
- 11Add in 2 8-oz cans of tomato sauce slowly and give that a quick mix.
- 12Turn your heat up to medium and let the mixture come up to a simmer.
- 13While it's simmering, take the stem off of 1 jalapeño and cut it in half right down the middle.
- 14Once it starts simmering, add the jalapeño just right on top.
- 15Cover the pan and let it simmer on medium heat for 10 minutes.
- 16After 10 minutes, turn the heat down to low and let it cook for another 15 minutes, without opening the lid.
- 17After the 15 minutes on low heat, take it off the heat and let it sit for another 5 minutes, without opening the lid, so that the rice will plump up.
- 18After the final 5 minutes, you can take the lid off and fluff up the rice.
