    It's April of 2021 and I have been making this recipe since 2016. My kids love it! I love it! The coolest thing is that we have shared great memories of good dinners over this recipe and now they are learning to make it too. They like it with chicken thighs. Thanks for posting this. You helped a dad feed his kids!!

But I want to say thanks to you as I added the green chilies, the whole small can plus when I sauteed the rice, I added fresh diced yellow onion and bell pepper sliced, it adds so much flavor, its better fresh to me. So thanks again!

    There are so many bad Spanish rice recipes out there. This is the first one I've seen that actually looks like restaurant quality. You my dear are a great cook if you can make Spanish Rice like this. I make mine like this but use Instant rice so it wont get sloppy and soggy. I will def try this next time. Looks amazing.

    Gordon Ramsay says bring it to a boil as quick as possible then turn it to low and let it simmer until cooked. Lifting the lid won't ruin the rice you just lose a lot of steam which will build back up once you put the lid on. Only thing it'll do is add another minute or two to your cook time every time you open it. If the rice is still not fully cooked and is drying out you can always add a little more water as needed and bring it back to boil then simmer. Once you cook it a few times you'll know exactly how long to cook it and you won't really need to open the lid and check it at all.

    @Daniel-xc6oc 6 років тому +2

    I loved the recipe. But the best part of the recipe was about the Heat and the lid. Those are things that I did not know about. Thank you for posting this video.
    Update: so I tried your recipe this evening. That is the best rice I have ever made and it was a hit at our dinner! Thank you so much for your help.

    Me: Babe, Im gonna open the lid and check the rice.
    My wife: NO, ABSOLUTELY NOT!!! IF YOU OPEN THE RICE THE WOMAN FROM THE VIDEO WILL COME HERE AND YELL AT US!!!!!
    Honestly though this rice turned out AMAZING!!! Keeping the lid on IS super important. Wish I had known that a decade ago. Thank you so much for posting this recipe!

    • @lulug8667

    I just made this recipe for the second time. Just like the first time, it came out perfect. The only change I made was i added 1/2 cup fresh chopped onion with the garlic right before adding the tomato sauce. This is the only spanish rice recipe I will ever make!

  • @stevejarrell3811

    Made this yesterday after a failed attempt at another recipe I found online, that one came out very mushy and not edible in my opinion. I basically followed yours step by step and I was very pleased with the results, delicious and went with the rest of the dinner I made with it. Yum!!! Thank you very much for sharing. Only thing I did different was add some chopped up Roma tomatoes at the end.

      My advice is. Dont touch it or open it after 20 mins. Give it an extra 10 mins turn stove off tho. It will give extra love . It won't get burn but leave it alone. Dont mess with jt. Just turn stove off period
