This Spanish rice recipe is crazy simple and absolutely bursting with flavor. I use the rice cooker to precook the rice and it turns out perfect every time! This side dish pairs really well with my Spanish meatballs, and if you have leftovers, it's also amazing as a salad. Take it out the next day, throw in some corn and fresh onion and voila! You have yourself a tasty rice salad.
This is not the traditional Spanish rice recipe, but it's super simple and it's always really good. So if you are in a hurry and want a quick and tasty rice dish, this is for you.
If you don't have a rice cooker, just cook your rice as usual (replacing water for stock) and follow the rest of the directions.
Enjoy!
