I was looking for something different and this rice turned out excellent. I also added a little fresh lime juice to the rice for some added flavor. Thanks Izzy

Made this with Basmati rice and it was really really good! Served it for dinner with good friends. The wife saw my leftovers and asked to take some home! That's how good it was!

Fragrant and delightful, I found this rice to be a great change of pace from the usual tomatoey-gunky Spanish rice one comes to expect when having a Southwestern or Mexican meal. I found I didn't require the called for amount of olive oil, as I just sprayed the pan with olive oil spray and made do, as a low-fat alternative. Also, when the rice was finished, it was slighty wet, which may have been due to the type rice I used, but in any case, I remedied it by placing a clean towel between the lid of the pan and securing tightly and allowing it to rest for 10-15 minutes while the towel absorbed the excess moisture. At that point the rice was light and fluffy as could be! Great rice recipe, Izzy, it went well with chicken fajitas and my sizzling chile garden salsa...my husband just loves this- and I'm sure I'll make this often to get on his good side!

I really liked this rice. I made this to go with my Spanish style roast pork for Christmas - I used a combo of fresh jalapeno/serrano peppers & scallions and added a can of drained black beans. I did not have a can of green chiles on hand so I omitted it. I can definately see this as a side dish or in a burrito. Thanks for posting this!
