How To Make durango spanish rice

Step 1

Heat bacon drippings and margarine in a large skillet over medium heat. When this has melted add the rice and cook, stirring until lightly browned. Add onion, pepper, tomatoes and garlic. Continue to cook, stirring for 5 minutes.

Step 2

Add broth, juice, and bouillon. Bring to a boil, so as to dissolve the bouillon. Reduce heat, cover and simmer until liquid is absorbed and rice is tender, about 25 minutes. Remove from heat. Stir in cilantro,white pepper and chili powder.
