Isn't it great to see a real Spanish Rice recipe? I know you can throw a can of spaghetti sauce in a pot of rice and get so-called Spanish Rice, but the real old fashioned way of making Spanish Rice calls for some real honest-to-goodness spices, onion, and green pepper. Also, browning the white rice a bit adds an incredible, nutty flavor. Once you try this authentic version of Spanish Rice you will never try a shortcut again.
