📝 Instructions:
- Begin by preparing all your ingredients. Dice the onion, mince the garlic, and finely chop the mild green chili.
- In a large skillet or frying pan, heat some oil over medium heat.
- Add the diced onion to the skillet and sauté until it becomes translucent and slightly caramelized, about 3-4 minutes.
- Stir in the minced garlic and chopped mild green chili, and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Next, add the basmati rice to the skillet, stirring well to coat it evenly with the onion, garlic, and chili mixture.
- Pour in the can of Rotel tomatoes & chilies, including the liquid, and stir to combine.
- Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet with a lid, and let it cook for about 10 minutes, or until the rice is tender and has absorbed all the liquid.
- Once the rice is cooked, remove the skillet from the heat and let it sit, covered, for a few minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste if desired.
- Serve Emilie’s Spanish Rice hot as a standalone dish or as a flavorful side to your favorite Tex Mex meals. Enjoy!
👩🍳 Cook’s Tips:
- For an extra kick of heat, you can use a hot green chili instead of a mild one, or add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the dish.
- If you prefer a richer flavor, you can substitute chicken or vegetable broth for water when cooking the rice.
- Garnish your Spanish Rice with chopped fresh cilantro or a squeeze of lime juice for a burst of freshness.
