Quick Spanish Rice
Ingredients
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 1/2 cups long-grain rice
  • 3 cups water
  • 2 roma (plum) tomatoes, chopped
  • 1 cup chopped onion
  • 3/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro, or more to taste
  • 1 tablespoon tomato bouillon with chicken flavoring (such as Knorr®), or more to taste
Instructions
1
Initiate cooking by positioning a pot over the medium-heat element, allowing it to warm up. Next, introduce oil into the pot and continue heating until the oil reaches a state of gentle shimmering.
2
Now, add rice to the hot oil and stir continuously until the rice has undergone a transformation from its original color to a rich, dark brown hue, approximately taking 5 minutes.
3
Combine water, tomatoes, onion, cilantro, and bouillon cubes in a separate container before adding them to the rice mixture. Stir everything together thoroughly.
4
Subsequently, bring the entire mixture to a rolling boil before ceasing the heat source. Cover the pot completely with its lid and allow it to rest for 20 minutes, allowing the liquid to be fully absorbed.
