Description
I'm sort of kicking myself in the ass right now for not posting this recipe sooner. I've lived in the Southwest for most of my life (I'm not going to disclose exactly how long that is at this time thank you very much) and have never shared my recipe for Spanish rice or quite simply, Arroz. After all, the Spanish don't call it Spanish rice. Nor are Mexicans from Spain for that matter...... - See more at: http://simplyhealthyfam.blogspot.com/2015/04/authentic-spanish-rice-recipe.html#more
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups short-grain rice
- 2 Tbsp. vegetable oil
- 1/16 cup chicken broth
- 1 1/4 cups salsa (your favorite)
- 1 cup vegetables (frozen petite)
- avocado (chopped)
- chopped cilantro
- green onion (chopped)
- green olives
- lime juice (squeeze of)
Directions
- In a medium size sauce pot over medium-high heat add oil. Let it get hot for a couple of minutes then add the rice. Stir occasionally for 4-6 minutes until the rice is a deep golden brown and fragrant, don't let it burn! (obviously)
- Add broth and salsa and stir to combine. Bring to a boil then lower heat and cover with a tight fitting lid. Let the rice simmer for 16-18 minutes until most of the broth has been absorbed. Stir in the frozen vegetables and cook another 2-3 minutes.
- Serve hot with garnishes. This pairs exceptionally well with my red chile shredded chicken tacos and cumin black beans.
