Not this recipe . . .but Spanish rice, in general.
I've never been a fan.
Until I made this.
This is what the Mr. grew up on, I'm guessing.
You know, I've never asked him if he ate this as a kid,
but his mom is the one who gave me the recipe.
Maybe she just liked they way it sounded . . .
No, I'm sticking with the thought that it was a family favorite!
Again, like most things I make, it's easy!
You can serve it along side your Mexican food, or add ground beef to it and have a one-pot meal, if you're into those sorts of things!
Spanish Rice
1 cup uncooked rice (instant or long-cook*)
1/4 cup butter
1 onion, chopped
1/2 green pepper, chopped
1 can stewed tomatoes, with the juice
1 tsp. salt
dash of pepper
1 cup water
Melt butter in a sauce pan, add the onion, green pepper and rice. Stir over high heat until the rice is lightly browned. Add the tomatoes, water, salt and pepper. Mix well, bring to a boil, cover tightly and then lower the heat and simmer until tender.
Serve hot.
*If you're using long-cook rice, you might have to add additional water as necessary to achieve desired tenderness of the rice. I've used both kinds of rice.
