How do you make spanish rice?

Question

It has little bits of salsa or peppers in it but it's not spicy hot. I had it once but can't ask the cook who made it for the recipe.

Answer 1

Spanish rice is a dish made from white rice, tomatoes, garlic, onions, and other ingredients. One common preparation is to toast the rice and cook it in chicken broth.

Answer 2

This recipe is amazing and while the rotel gives a good flavor, it doesn't come across as overly hot.

Answer 3

I have close Spanish ancestors and I use to cook Spanish style and let me tell you that every region of Spain has several styles of cooking rice and also different types of rice. Some dishes are very rich including meats, seafood, vegetables; some only seafood, some simple meat, some only vegetables, some are baked and have an egg crust, others include Saffron, etc... the rice you are talking about must be suited for the taste of the US, but Spanish food, same as Mexican and Italian among others is very rich and diverse. I can give recipes but you have to be mire specific.

Answer 4

You can cook the rice using the juice from a can of stewed tomatoes When it's cooked add the tomatoes, beef (optional) green peppers, tomato sauce some beef boullion and a splash of burgundy or red wine.

Answer 5

I don't know how to make it from scratch, so what I do is get a box of Rice-A-Roni (the spanish rice kind) and it tastes pretty good and easy to make.
