I was looking for just the right Spanish rice and I found it! This was very nice served with chili rellenos and refried beans. Thanks for good side dish! -
good but it turned out too moist and i had to take off the lid and try to steam off the excess. -
Auntie Nez, this rice is wonderful! I had guests home for dinner tonight, and I made this rice as a side dish. I made it just minutes before it was dinner time. Served hot this tasted soooo good. I did up the quantity of onions, I used about 3/4 cup. I used 4 of the garlic cloves, I guess it's about 1/2 Tbsp. (PACKED).I left out the salt and the carrots. Salt because the broth has salt already and I didn't want too much because mom can't have it then. I did use vegetable broth as a substitute as we are all vegetarians. My picky bro. who got back home at 12 am, wanted food as he entered and I served him some of your rice. He finished the skillet! LOL. Now if my bro. likes something, then, it is an award winning dish;) EVERYONE who ate it praised it. My dad, mom, our guests, bro. and me - we all loved it alot. The colour and taste were both really really good. THANK YOU so much for a great rice dish! -
This was very good! I wish that I had peas in it, but since we were all out (that has never happened before) I used frozen corn instead. (It worked fine)I either didn't use enough rice (it said a cup) or I used too much liquid (it said a cup of water, and a cup of broth total) because it was a little too moist. I will have to work on that! Also, it did take quite a bit longer than 35 minutes total to make. Maybe I am slow, I don't know, but the rice took a while to cook all of the way. I did like this a lot, I just hope that next time I will do it a little more right! Thanks for sharing! -
I made this recipe to serve with "Recipe #355273" and it was a very tasty side dish with the spicy turkey. I used all broth and no water in the prep and also reduced the amount of oil to 1T. It was very flavorful and colorful. Thanks for posting.

After DH and I moved away from the farm, and to the city...I haven't done as much cooking and very little canning. But I do come to Zaar and look for new recipes once in a while. I'm still cooking Zaar!!
I like to play at Facebook, with my family and friends. A lot of my Zaar friends are there!! Yay! It's a good way to keep in touch.
We travel more. We're looking at the European trips now. Hope to go in the springtime. I really want to see London, I think I lived there in a past life, I've been obsessed with it since I was 10 years old!!
