Spanish Rice Recipe

Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Ingredients

   Gather all the ingredients before starting the cooking process.

2. 2

   Sauté the Vegetables

   In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

3. 3

   Add Garlic and Bell Pepper

   Stir in the minced garlic and chopped bell pepper. Sauté for another 2-3 minutes until the bell pepper starts to soften.

4. 4

   Incorporate Rice

   Add the long-grain white rice to the skillet, stirring to coat the rice with the oil and mix with the vegetables. Cook for about 2 minutes, allowing the rice to lightly toast.

5. 5

   Add Tomatoes and Spices

   Stir in the diced tomato, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to incorporate all the ingredients.

6. 6

   Add Broth

   Pour in the chicken or vegetable broth. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, covering the skillet with a lid.

7. 7

   Simmer

   Let the rice simmer on low heat for about 15-20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and has absorbed the liquid.

8. 8

   Add Peas

   In the last 5 minutes of cooking, add the frozen peas to the rice, stirring gently to combine.

9. 9

   Finish with Cilantro

   Once the rice is cooked and the liquid has been absorbed, remove from heat. Fluff the rice with a fork and stir in the chopped cilantro.
