Method

Spanish Rice Preparation

  1. 1

    Sauté Onion and Garlic

    In a large saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.

  2. 2

    Toast Rice

    Add the long-grain rice to the saucepan and stir well to coat the rice with the oil, onion, and garlic mixture. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the rice is slightly toasted.

  3. 3

    Add Liquids and Spices

    Pour in the tomato sauce and vegetable broth. Add the cumin, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.

  4. 4

    Cook Rice

    Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for 18-20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed.

  5. 5

    Fluff and Set Aside

    Once cooked, fluff the rice with a fork and set aside covered to keep warm.

Charro Beans Preparation

  1. 6

    Cook Bacon

    In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the chopped bacon until crispy. Remove the bacon and drain on paper towels, leaving the rendered fat in the skillet.

  2. 7

    Sauté Onion and Garlic

    In the same skillet with the bacon fat, add the diced onion and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for another minute.

  3. 8

    Add Beans and Seasonings

    Stir in the cooked pinto beans, diced tomato, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well and let it simmer for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  4. 9

    Finish with Bacon and Cilantro

    Add the cooked bacon and chopped cilantro to the beans, stir to combine, and cook for an additional 2 minutes.
