Spanish Rice made with white rice: http://www.cooking-mexican-recipes.com/spanish_rice_recipe.html


This is my healthy version for Spanish rice as it is made using brown rice and olive oil.

This makes for a hearty and delicious spanish rice recipe. When using brown rice you have to use more liquid (chicken stock) and cook the rice longer because brown rice is less processed than white rice.

Also if you want to make this dish vegetarian, you can substitute vegetable broth for the chicken broth.

Brown Spanish Rice Recipe

Ingredients:
2 cups brown rice
3 3/4 cups chicken broth
1 1/4 cups tomato puree
2 tsp. garlic powder
2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. chile powder
1/2 bell pepper
1/2 yellow onion
1/4 cup olive oil, maybe a little less
1 Tbsp. butter

Ingredients:

Heat a frying pan over medium high heat. Add the oil and butter. Once melted, add the rice and saut for about 5 to 8 minutes until the rice brown up even more!

Add the onion and bell pepper and saut for an additional 5 minutes stirring frequently.

Heat up the chicken broth on the stove in a pan (this is optional). The reason to do this is to prevent splatter when adding it. It splatters when you add cool broth to a hot pan full of rice, oil and veggies.

Next add the tomato puree, salt, chile powder and garlic powder and stir to combine.

Turn the temperature up to high and stir frequently. Once you have a full boil turn the temperature to simmer and cover and cook for about 50 minutes or until the rice has absorbed all the liquid and rice is soft.
