Spanish Rice
Spanish Rice is a flavorful side dish made by sautéing white rice in oil until translucent, then simmering it gently with chicken stock, tomato sauce, and spices like chili powder, cumin, and garlic salt. The cooking process infuses the rice with rich, subtly spiced tomato flavor and results in tender, fluffy grains. This dish complements Mexican or Southwestern meals and provides a moist, well-seasoned carbohydrate base.
