Spanish Rice Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Base

   In a large skillet or saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and bell pepper, and sauté until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.

2. 2

   Add Garlic

   Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

3. 3

   Toast the Rice

   Add the long-grain rice to the skillet, stirring frequently for about 3-4 minutes until the rice is lightly toasted.

4. 4

   Add Tomatoes and Spices

   Incorporate the diced tomatoes, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper into the rice mixture, stirring well to combine.

5. 5

   Add Broth and Cook

   Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 20 minutes or until the rice is cooked and has absorbed the liquid.

6. 6

   Finishing Touches

   Once the rice is cooked, remove from heat and let it sit covered for an additional 5 minutes. Fluff the rice with a fork, and stir in the chopped cilantro before serving.
