Spanish paprika 1/2 tsp. Ancho pepper (optional) 1/2 tsp. Taco seasoning (optional) In a saucepan or skillet with a heavy cover (such as cast iron) brown the rice for 3 or 4 minutes; add onions and other coarsely chopped vegetables. Sauté until onions are translucent, adding garlic during the last few minutes. Stir in tomatoes, broth, water and seasonings. Stir until boiling; cover tightly and reduce heat to low. Cook over lowest heat for 30-40 minutes. During the last 10 minutes of cooking, uncover; add wine and simmer over medium heat. If a sweet wine is used, the sugar or honey may be omitted. If a thicker sauce is wanted, stir in tomato paste and cook a little longer, stirring occasionally. Taste and adjust seasonings, adding salt, pepper and garlic powder, to your taste. A squeeze of fresh lemon juice or a sprinkling of lemon pepper can brighten the taste. *Vegetable Suggestions: celery, green or red bell peppers, poblano peppers, jalapeno peppers, sweet Spanish or Vidalia onions, Mixture of vegetables should have at least one or more onions. Variation: Turn this into a hearty meal by flavoring the olive oil at the start with a tablespoon of bacon or pork drippings (or leftover pan juices from a roast beef). Add a pound of cubed pork or bulk sausage and brown before adding the vegetables, then proceed as above. Fear is just excitement in need of an attitude adjustment! -----Original Message----- From: wally gramza via Cookinginthedark [mailto:cookinginthedark@acbradio.org] Sent: Monday, November 23, 2015 7:23 AM To: cookinginthedark@acbradio.org Subject: [CnD] spanish rice recipe please Good morning list members, Do any of you Ladies And Gentlemen have a spanish rice recipe?
