Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Flavorful Spanish Rice Delight.
Step 1
Start by heating the vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is shimmering, toss in the chopped onion and green bell pepper. Sauté these vibrant veggies along with the instant rice until the onion is translucent and the rice takes on a lovely golden hue, which should take about 7 to 10 minutes. This step is crucial as it builds the flavor base for your dish!
Step 2
Next, stir in the diced tomatoes, vegetable juice, tomato sauce, and water. Add the white sugar, lemon juice, salt, and ground black pepper to the mix. Give everything a good stir to combine all those delicious flavors. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, then reduce the heat to medium-low. Let it cook, uncovered, until the liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender, which will take about 20 minutes. Keep an eye on it and stir occasionally to prevent sticking!
