spanish rice
I finally did it! I made good Spanish Rice! I have attempted this many times, but I have always put tomatoes, tomato sauce, or onion in it, and it was always gooey and clumpy. Sometimes inedible, I admit. So, after eating out the other night at one of my fave Mexican restaurants, I thought...I'm going to try one more time. I noticed their rice didn't have all that stuff in it. Thinking about it, most of the Mexican rice I have had didn't. Don't know why I thought it did. I decided try something else. This time I only added spices and revved it up a bit and it came out great! I hope you try it!
