Spanish Rice

This is a fantastic recipe for Spanish rice! I used brown long grain rice, and had to cook it for close to an hour before it was done. I also added 1/2 tsp dried oregano, 1/2 tsp ancho chile powder, and a pinch of cayenne, because I only had canned tomatoes on hand instead of Rotel. Delicious! I was hoping to have some left over for breakfast with an egg on top, but it's all gone. Oh well, will have to make more!

Great recipe. Very easy to make and delicious. I only used three gloves of garlic and used diced tomatoes and chopped canned chilies instead of the Rotel. Will definitely make again.

Delicious. The flavors go so well together in a great balance. Spicier than I anticipated. We used a combo of black olives and green manzanilla olives. We served this alongside chorizo sausage. Made for ZWT5 for the Genies of Gourmet.

Fantastic rice dish! Served with a salsa chiken dish and everyone raved more about the rice than the main dish! Thanks for posting! Made for ZWT.

A very flavoursome rice which we really enjoyed and which I'll certainly make again. I made this using Aldi's Italian tomatoes (without any chilies), my Vegetable Stock and my favourite kalamata olives. Loved how much garlic there was in this! :) I also added a cup of thinly sliced mushrooms and some oregano, rosemary, sage and thyme. Thanks for sharing this recipe, Sue! Made for ZWT 5.

This recipe is fantastic, easy and soooo tasty you could make a meal out it by itself! I also cut down on the garlic due to having it in limited supply at the moment but I can imagine that the full amount would only improve the recipe! I used vegan chicken flavoured stock. Made for the Spanish leg of ZWT5

This rice has great flavor and texture. The peas are a great way to get the kids to eat their veggies. Next time though I will make it with the mild Rotel for the kids, but DH and I love the original. Made for ZWT5.

Really delicious. Easy to make and very pretty. Very good with roast pork. Subbed a tin of regular tomatoes with a little minced (pickled) jalapeno in place of the Rotel.

DH liked this a lot. I used 5 cloves garlic. I also used some tomato paste, as we don't like chunks of cooked tomato in rice. I made it into a meal by adding cooked red beans and another time I added black beans. I forgot to add sauteed mushrooms but that would be a good addition. I put in some raisins from reading a previous review but would not add them next time.

I have made this several times now and it is so good! It went great with our burrito casserole the other night and it is always enjoyed by my family and I! I have used both the green olives and the black, and I actually prefer the green olives, but it's delicious either way, believe me!

I've always had spanish rice out of the box. But in the intested of lowering our sodium and "stepping it up a notch", I vowed to try making it from scratch. I'm sure glad that this is the recipe that I chose - it was great! I used brown rice instead of white, so the cooking time was more like 30-35 minutes. For color, I threw in a 1/2 of a red pepper with the onions and added probably 1 tsp of cumin as well. For protein, I also added 1/2 can of black beans prior to the 5-10 min resting period. Great tasing, completely satisfying. Two thumbs up!

Excellent! Not much I can add to what has already been said - it is great tasting Spanish Rice that saw to no left overs at our house. Other then not adding peas and cutting back a little on the garlic I made as posted following your instructions using chicken broth. Have picked up some peas and will add them next time around - there will definitely be a good many next times on this one. I am so keen on this recipe that I am thinking to doing the the onions and garlic and giving it a go in the rice cooker for those days when time is short. Thank you Sue L.

This was a terrific Spanish rice recipe. I used vegetable broth, omitted the saffron threads because I had run out of them and used black Kalamata olives, yum! I also reduced the garlic like some of the other reviewers. Not exactly sure what the towel trick did but I followed the directions anyway. Thanks I'll make this again!

This is absolutely the best recipe for Spanish Rice. So moist and flavorful - very spicy. I minced the small garlic cloves and added no peas. But the basic recipe is just perfect!! Thanks!!!

Very simple and tasty! I used half the garlic and added 1/2 tsp each of ground cumin and chili powder. Made this w/o black olives b/c I was out, but it was still great. Next time I may add minced bell pepper, corn, and black beans to make it a main dish. Thanks!
