I have a pretty simple recipe but I don't do exact measurements other than on the rice and broth, but its super simple.

First heat some canola oil in a nice size frying pan (or any light oil, not olive though) enough to coat the pan (about twice around) Than add in about a cup of rice ( i use uncle bens or riceland) and cook until you see the rice start turning a light brown. Some parts might bee dark brown and thats okay as long as you don't burn the rice. Than add in 2 cups of chicken broth and 1/2 cup of water.

For the seasonings, add black pepper, red chili powder, garlic powder, cumin (about palm full of each, 2 on the cumin) and 1/2 tomato bouillon cube. Stir all ingredients and add about 2-3 tablespoons of tomato sauce. Stir and bring to a boil, once it reaches a boil cover the rice lower heat and let it cookr for about 15-20 minutes. It is important once you cover to leave it alone and do not uncover. Check on it after about 15 minutes and if all the liquid has dissolved you can fluff the rice with a fork, shut the gas off and place the cover back on. The rice will continue to cook for about 10 more minutes. Fluff with fork again and enjoy!!

Spanish Rice

1 heaping tablespoon tomato paste or 1 cup of diced fresh or cooked tomatoes, strained
Pinch of oregano
1 teaspoon salt

In a large skillet brown rice in olive oil, medium/high heat. Add onion and garlic. Cook onion rice mixture, stirring frequently, about 4 minutes, or until onions are softened.

In a separate sauce pan bring stock to a simmer. Add tomato sauce, oregano, and salt. Add rice to broth. Bring to a simmer. Cover. Lower heat and cook 15-25 minutes, depending on the type of rice and the instructions on the rice package. Turn off heat and let sit for 5 minutes.

Answer 6

incredibly delicious but EASY Spanish rice

INGREDIENTS
2 tablespoons oil
2 tablespoons chopped onion
1 1/2 cups uncooked white rice
2 cups chicken broth
1 cup chunky salsa

DIRECTIONS
Heat oil in a large, heavy skillet over medium heat. Stir in onion, and cook until tender, about 5 minutes.
Mix rice into skillet, stirring often. When rice begins to brown, stir in chicken broth and salsa. Reduce heat, cover and simmer 20 minutes, until liquid has been absorbed.

This one is EVEN easier because it calls for instant rice but its still really good!! Perfect for when you are short on time but still want a GOOD DINNER!

(20 ounce) jar mild salsa
1 cup water
1 tablespoon butter
1 cup instant rice

Bring water to a boil.
Add butter and jar of salsa and bring almost to a boil.
Add rice and remove from heat and let stand covered per instructions on instant rice box.
That's it!
You can substitute with mild salsa but it makes it sort of sweet instead of a spicy taste to it.
