Easiest PERFECT "SPANISH RICE" recipe I ever made. Tasty too!!
You can make this as spicy as you like. This is Just like the restruants make in Mexican cafe's, only better, Its Homemade.
There are "two Secrets" to this rice. I even surprised My sister whom is Mexican, with my rice.
NOTE:
Be sure you follow Directions exactly. . . for Fool Proof, right down to the Minutes.

- Saute in saucepan, with a tight Fitting Lid, on low heat.
Butter, Jalapenos, Onions and garlic.
ADD 2 Cups rice, Toss & saute again to coat the Rice in the Oils.
NOTE:
when you coat all the rice in the Oils its going to help the rice to stay seperated when it cooks, so it don't get gummy or sticky.
Saute on low heat, ONLY 2 MINUTES ( set the Timer) - Now your going to ADD SPICES:
Paprika, Cayenne, Cumin, Salt.
Stir in and toss well. - Then ADD; LIQUIDS,
Add 2 1/4 Cups Stock or Water
also add 1/2 Cup tomato sauce.
Turn heat to Medium High, Bring to simmer.
then turn down to Low, COVER, with tight fitting lid.
Simmer & cook, ONLY 20 MINUTES. (Set Timer) - After 20 Min. . . . DO NOT PEEK
Now, Set timer for another 9 Min, (DO NOT PEEK!!!)
After 9 min,
(Secret # 2 & Very Important Step). . . .
FLUFF RICE, with a big Meat Fork.
you should have very fluffy rice, full of Flavor, that seperates with the fork, and does not stick together.

1. Coating the rice in the Oils.
2. Fluffing the Rice with a fork after the 9 Min of Resting. . . That is the KEY!!
