What a great idea! Making great tasting Spanish or Mexican rice from scratch is sometimes tricky. Although I scoffed (canned tomato sauce??), the end result was very tasty and easy, and pleased even a foodie like me. I used ground cumin instead of coriander, and added a few diced carrots to saute with the onions, plus a sprinkling of some frozen corn in the last few minutes.
