  1. Finally! This is my 4th attempt in 3 weeks to make "Spanish" rice. My DH is 1/2 Hispanic and I didn't realize there was a difference between Spanish and Mexican rice - sorry. Once I got that cleared up, I decided this one looked like what he was asking for. It so happens that today is the day my 15 yr old $8 blender decided to die - so I didn't blend the ingredients. I also added paprika because I thought it needed color - it didn't. I used the whole garlic clove because it landed in there, and a pinch of cilantro. I cooked 17 minutes, then turned the heat off but left it covered. IT WAS PERFECT - FINALLY!! I will make this over and over and next time, I will not change anything - it didn't need it.
