Spanish Rice Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare Ingredients

   Gather all ingredients and prepare the vegetables by chopping the onion, red bell pepper, and mincing the garlic.

2. 2

   Sauté Vegetables

   In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and red bell pepper, and sauté until the onion is translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute.

3. 3

   Add Rice and Spices

   Add the long-grain white rice to the skillet, stirring to combine. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the rice is lightly toasted. Then, add the ground cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper.

4. 4

   Incorporate Tomatoes and Broth

   Stir in the diced tomatoes (with their juices) and vegetable broth. Bring the mixture to a boil.

5. 5

   Simmer

   Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and let it simmer for about 20 minutes, or until the rice is cooked through and has absorbed the liquid.

6. 6

   Fluff and Serve

   Remove from heat, let it sit for 5 minutes, then fluff the rice with a fork. Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro before serving.
