Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Flavorful Spanish Rice.
Step 1
Start by warming up some vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
Step 2
Once the oil is shimmering, toss in the chopped onion and sauté it until it turns a beautiful golden brown, which should take about eight minutes.
Step 3
This step is key, as it builds a lovely base of flavor for your dish.
Step 4
Next, stir in the uncooked instant rice, along with a can of diced tomatoes, a handful of chopped cilantro, and a splash of chicken broth.
Step 5
Give everything a good mix and bring the mixture to a lively boil.
Step 6
Once you see those bubbles dancing, lower the heat to medium-low and let it simmer gently.
Step 7
This is where the magic happens—allow the rice to cook until it’s tender and most of the liquid has been absorbed, which should take around ten minutes.
Step 8
Keep an eye on it, and soon you’ll have a delicious, comforting dish ready to enjoy!.
