If you are looking for the best homemade Spanish rice, this is the recipe for you! It’s super easy to make and tastes fantastic! I got my inspiration from the boxed one I used to eat when I was growing up… but now I’m a bit more concerned about sodium and preservatives so I make my own. 

I really love rice and so do my girls. It’s one of my favorite comfort dishes. It takes just a few minutes to make and tastes divine! It goes perfectly with my homemade hardy veggie chili too!

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 onion, diced
  • 2 cloves of garlic {less if you like less garlic, I like it garlicky}
  • 2 1/2 cups of long grain rice
  • 1 can of diced tomatoes
  • 4 cups of veggie broth
  • 1 tablespoon of taco seasoning
  • 4 tablespoons of oil
  • Salt and pepper to your liking

Directions:

  1. Add oil, onions, garlic, and rice to a pan. Cook on medium high, stirring constantly until the rice starts to slightly brown and the onions are translucent.
  2. Add all of the other ingredients and bring to a boil.
  3. Cook on low for about 15-20 minutes covered or until all the liquid is absorbed.
  4. Fluff with a fork and enjoy!
