Restaurant Spanish Rice Recipes

Steps:

• 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.

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:

• in a bowl combine broth, cumin, chili powder, salt & half a can of el pato sauce (if you can't find el pato use regular tomato sauce).
• brown rice, in hot oil, in a large skillet for approximately 5 minutes flipping occasionally.
• add diced onion, minced garlic, sauté for 1 minute.
• add seasoned broth, bring to a boil.
• reduce heat to low, cover and simmer for 15 minutes. do not check on the rice before the 15 minutes is up, this will allow steam to escape and may make your rice turn out undercooked.
• most of the water will absorb before the 15 minute time limit but keep covered and continue to steam for the entire 15 minutes. this will make for perfect rice that isnt crunchy.
• after 15 minutes turn heat off, uncover & flip rice over. recover & let sit until everything else is ready. you can let the rice sit covered for up to 25 minutes which will cook out most of the moisture & leave perfect fluffy rice.

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.
