Answer 1

This one is very easy i cook it all the time.

Spanish Rice

1 ½ tsp Olive Oil
Chorizo
1 cup long grain white rice
2 cups water
3-4 Tblsp Tomato Salsa (I use Ortega – Thick & Chunky – Medium)
Goya Sazon Seasoning with Achiote
Salt
¼ to ½ bag Niblets Corn

In medium sauce pan put oil and about one square inch section of chorizo on medium heat until chorizo melts and starts to brown. Add the salsa stir for a few seconds then add the rice and water. Add about 1/3 packet Sazon and salt to taste (usually about 1 tsp.) then add the corn. Stir well. Bring to boil and allow to boil until you can see the rice grains under the water. Cover turn heat down to low and allow to cook undisturbed til rice is tender. About 20 min. Before serving fluff rice with a large spoon.

Answer 2

onions, green bell pepper, extra long grain rice, oil, cumin, salt & pepper, garlic; Knorr Tomate & chicken bouillon cube & small amount of tomato sauce, hot water.

Heat the oil and the green pepper and onions. Add the rice and brown it. I usually get the pan to 300 in order to saute the veggies and brown the rice. At this point I add the garlic, salt and pepper smash the boullion cube in the pan or if you buy the powder kind just sprinkle it . Once the rice is brown add the hot water to cover the rice. Once you add the water, add a little bit of tomato sauce and some cumin. taste the water, it should be tasty if not just add a little more spices. Once you add the water reduce the heat a little (don't stir the mixture once you add the water because it will become clumpy if you do.) If the water starts to dry up before the rice is completed cooked, just add a little more hot water . Then cover the pan and let it simmer the last 5-10 minutes so that the water can be absorbed. It will take a few tries before you get it right. I like to add sweet corn either frozen or from a can (I add it when I add the water the 1st time.) Sorry I cant give you exact measurements on the ingredients but I never measure. It should be ready in 20-30 minutes. I am Hispanic and learned how to make this rice from my sister in law and they owned a Mexican restaraunt
