Best-Ever Spanish Rice
 
Tomato sauce, red bell pepper, and the perfect combo of spices elevate ordinary white rice to a restaurant-worthy side. (It pair perfectly with our chicken fajitas!) Don't skip toasting the rice! It adds a ton of flavor.
Ingredients
  • 2 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
  • ¼ medium onion, finely chopped
  • ½ red bell pepper, finely chopped
  • 2 c. long grain white rice
  • 2 c. low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 c. tomato sauce
  • Juice of ½ lemon
  • 1 tsp. chili powder
  • 1 tsp. garlic powder
  • 1 tsp. dried oregano
  • ½ tsp. ground cumin
  • Kosher salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 tbsp. freshly chopped cilantro, for garnish
Instructions
  1. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, heat oil. Add onion and pepper and cook until softened slightly, 3 to 4 minutes. Add rice and cook, stirring frequently, until toasted, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in chicken broth, tomato puree, lemon juice, chili powder, garlic powder, oregano, and cumin. Season liberally with salt and pepper.
  2. Increase heat to high and bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cover. Cook until all liquid is absorbed, 15 to 18 minutes.
  3. Remove from heat and let rest for 3 to 4 minutes, then remove lid and fluff rice with a fork. Top with cilantro and serve immediately.
