New Mexico Spanish Rice

Recipe #295147 | 50 min | 20 min prep | SERVES 12 (Change Servings)

RECIPE BY: AuntSana aka Chopped Liver

This is a recipe from our Sunday supplement American Profile. It is one of the best Spanish rice recipes we've ever had. It freezes well. Just needs a little liquid when heating up.

    Followed this recipe exactly and I wouldn't change a thing for the next time. This dish tastes exactly like the Spanish Rice I devour at my favorite Mexican restaurant. I was glad to see another reviewer say she will freeze leftovers because we have enough for another meal. Thanks, Aunt Sana, for posting this recipe. Made for PAC, Spring 2008

    Five stars: Easy, Tasty, Makes extra for freezer, Kids didn't question what vegies they were eating, One pot!!! Busy mum's dream. I put in red pepper because I didn't have green, but otherwise followed exactly. Should have put it on the smaller burner to simmer - caught a little - but that is operator error! Beautiful.
