Ingredients:
2 T olive oil
1 can tomato sauce
2 cups long grain rice
4 cups of water, hot
2 bouillon cubes
2 heaping T salsa (red or green)
1 T dried parsley
1/2 t salt & pepper
1/2 t garlic powder
1 medium onion, diced
Heat a large, deep skillet that has a lid over medium high heat and when the pan is hot then add the olive oil. When oil is hot add the rice and the onion and saute until the rice is toasted and lightly brown and the onion is soft, approximately 10 minutes. Add the tomato sauce and the salsa and saute for 3 minutes, the tomato sauce will start to stick to the bottom of the pan. Pour in the first 2 cups of water and while you are waiting for it to start boiling add the bouillon cubes, parsley, salt, pepper and garlic. Continue stirring uncovered to reduce the water and to distribute the bouillion cube and spices. When there is only a small amount of water left in the pan, add the second 2 cups of water and bring
that to a boil again. When it finally comes to a rolling boil, give the pan a stir and turn down the heat to low and simmer covered for approximately 15-20 minutes or until the water is absorbed. Stoves vary so check it after 15 minutes and continue to cook until all the water is gone. Remove cover, stir to fluff the rice and let it rest of a few minutes before serving.
This rice is a great leftover and worth making extra for other meals. It can be turned into a completely different dinner idea by adding a poached egg on top or pieces of grilled chicken.
You can add additional vegetables to this dish to make it your own. Add some green peppers when sauteing the onion or some roasted corn at the end to add a new and unique flavor to your dish.
When reheating, place rice on a plate or in a bowl and cover loosely with a damp paper towel and warm in the microwave for 1-2 minutes.
Spanish rice can be made in larger or smaller volumes. The trick to changing your volume is to use the same size cup for the rice and the water. Rice preparation is always 1 cup of rice to 2 cups of water.
