Is there a way to make spanish rice with tomato sauce?!
Answers:
Yes. Fry 1 1/2 cups of uncooked rice in veggie or canola oil... usually 2-3 tbsp on a medium-high heat for 2-3 minutes.
Add about 1/2 a cup of tomato sauce (I don't use sauce from a jar, I just use a small 6-8 oz can or tomato sauce.... you know, those real tiny cans?), stir until all the rice is coated and continue to cook for another 1-2 mintues. Add 2 1/2 cups of chicken broth, bring to a boil on high heat, then immediately cover with a lid and reduce to a simmer for 16 minutes. If you wanted to, before you add the rice you can add 1/4 chopped onion and 1/2 a green bell pepper, 2 garlic cloves and 1 jalapeno for flavor before you add the rice. You would add all those to the pan before the rice, except the garlic... and saute for 8-10 minutes on medium heat. The garlic you can add when you add the rice.
