Ingredients
- 2 Tbsp oil 30 mL
- 2 cups uncooked long-grain white rice like basmati, 350 g
- ½ cup white onion chopped
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 3 cups vegetable broth 720 mL
- 1 cup salsa 240 g
- 1 oz can Kidney Beans drained and rinsed, 425 g
Instructions
- Toast Rice: Heat oil in a large saute pan over medium/high. Add rice and toast until the grains begin to turn golden brown, stirring often, about 7 minutes.
- Cook Until Tender: Reduce heat to medium and add onion and garlic, continuing to cook until onion is soft. Add broth, cover, and cook until rice is tender and broth is absorbed. About 15 minutes.
- Finish: Stir in salsa then beans and serve warm.
Notes
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
- How do you fix mushy Spanish Rice? If your rice is too mushy, it has too much water in it. Uncover the pan and cook on low to evaporate the water.
- How much rice should I make per person? You'll want to cook roughly 1/3 cup uncooked rice per person.
