Restaurant Spanish Rice Recipes

Steps:

• Saute onion in oil until translucent.
• Add rice and saute a few more minutes.
• Add remaining ingredients and bring to a boil.
• Stir, cover and reduce heat to simmer.
• Simmer for twenty minutes without removing lid.
• Fluff with a fork and serve with chopped green onions on top.
• Note: The mild enchilada sauce adds flavor without adding spiciness. If using hot enchilada sauce, I would cut the amount in half at least.

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a medium, heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium-low heat. Add the rice, onion and green pepper, and saute until the rice is slightly browned and the vegetables are softened, 8 to 10 minutes. Stir in the tomatoes, pimiento, salt, cayenne and hot sauce. Bring to a boil, cover and reduce the heat to low. Simmer for 20 minutes, then fluff with a fork. If the rice is tender but too soupy, cook uncovered for another 5 minutes. If the rice is dry but not yet tender, add 1/2 cup water, cover and continue cooking for another 5 minutes, or until the rice is done.

Steps:

• Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat; cook and stir onions and jalapeno peppers in the butter until softened, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir Mexican-style tomatoes into onion mixture; add rice, salt, and black pepper. Bring rice mixture to a boil, reduce heat, cover, and simmer until rice is cooked, 40 to 45 minutes. Garnish with sour cream and Cheddar cheese to serve.

Steps:

• In a medium skillet or frying pan, heat your oil and add onion.
• Once the onion starts to brown on the edges add the garlic.
• Stir with a wooden spoon for a few minutes and add the dry rice to the onions and garlic. Stir rice frequently till the rice takes on a golden-orange color. Be careful not to burn the onions and garlic. If your bulbs look like they are starting to get over done immediately add the canned tomatoes.
• While waiting for the rice to brown get a medium sized cooking pot (must have lid or cover). Open the canned tomatoes and with clean cooking shears cut the tomatoes (in the can) till they are in small pieces.
• Pour the can of cut tomatoes in the pot with 1 can's worth of water.
• Toss in the chicken bouillon and you are now ready for the rice.
• Once your rice has developed a good color, transfer everything from the frying pan to the pot.
• Cover and bring to a hard boil.
• Once boiling reduce heat to a soft simmer for 15-20 minutes.
• After most of the liquid has been absorbed stir the rice and remove from heat.
• Allow rice to steam in the pot for 10-15 minutes. Add the green onion, stir then serve and enjoy.
