The Spanish Rice
I made the Rice last night with Chiles Rellenos and some red sauce. I'll start with the rice.
I use Tio Pelon Rice, not sure why, but I pick the blue bag that says 80 0/0. Witch is funny
because it turns out about 98 0/0 of the time. Or maybe Tio Pelon is saying it's 80 percent
whole grain. Either way cook it a little longer than I did last night, I don't like the rice hard
at all.
My Recipe
1 Cup Rice
1 and 1/2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
2 cloves of garlic ( crushed and chopped with a pinch of salt)
1 Cup Tomato Sauce
1 Cup Chicken Broth or Water with a bouillon cube
In a nonstick pan on medium heat, heat the Oil and add the Rice, saute the Rice just until it
starts to get a little golden, add the garlic and keep stiring and cook until a litte more golden
Do not brown to much. Keep it golden. Add the broth and tomato sauce and bring to a boil.
Be careful when you add the broth and tomato,
Turn the heat to low and simmer with a lid on for around 25 minutes.
Keep stirring ( yes you can and should lift the lid).
