I've learned something authentic about mexican cuisine from you and that is most recipes tend to bring out the best flavor from the food itself. I really appreciate how you emphasize it most of the time!
The whole thing came out wonderful...I used your sauce and rice and chicken enchilada recipe...my parents loved it as well as my husband and my 2 year old daughter too! My mom even had seconds and she never does! Thank you sooooo much!
Awesome!! Glad to be able to help you out. Don't forget to subscribe if you haven't already so you don't miss any new videos. I will be coming out with a chicken enchilada recipe soon that is super easy and taste delicious. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
I use a can of crushed tomatoes instead if the puree and I put in a pinch of Cumin and a half tap of chilled powder . I like it a bit more spicy . I was happy to see your version so similar to my own . Thank you .
This receipe is to a T perfect on measurements ratios of water/rice. I have tried many other youtubers receipes for Mexican rice and nothing came out better than this. My soon to be husband is Mexican and it was so frustrating not being able to get it down perfect like this grandmothers,but finally did thanks to u! Even when his grandmother showed me it was still hard because she dosent measure and dosent know how to measure,so when I go to do my own still a problem.The level of moistness is perfect not dry and not mushy. Thank u
Robin, I just saw this video last night. I’m currently making this rice dish along with the burrito casserole that you make for your son. I’m in love with the rice!! It looks almost identical to yours. You explain the steps so well. Thanks for this awesome recipe~
This has got to be the best recipe for spanish rice ever!!! Thank you so much my batch of this came out amazing, even my husband couldn't stop eating it!!! Thank you!!!
I've never made spanish rice before but definitely gonna have to try this I love rice I have hispanic in me so I love mexican food thank you for such an easy and lovely dish amazing. Have a amazing day
Perfection Robin! All ingredients measured precisely to recipe and you can't lose - I've made it now a few times and it's a winner - straight forward, easy and practical. Thanks for sharing this with us.
Thank You for your Spanish Rice Recipe it was Soo good after I had tried making it instead of the white rice liked your Spanish Rice better ! Just wanted to make sure that I made it right ! Had to watch the video again ! Thanks sooo much for your video tuturiol !
Most of the time tomato sauce has other spices and herbs although you can find it without. Tomato puree typically is just tomatoes and is thicker (with less water) than tomato sauce. You can substitute with either one but I usually use puree when making Spanish rice.
This recipe came up and it was dinner time tonight. I had everything to make it. It has 10 minutes left. I just LOVE your recipes. I missed your jokes though. :) Thank You!!
Love your rice. After making it I was so happy I finally learned how to make Mexican Rice. So delicious! Have also made your refried beans and they were amazing too. Thank you!
It's almost exactly how my late mom and I have been making it for years. The only difference is that I add a pinch of comino, which drove my mother crazy. After reading your recipe and seeing your video, I know I'm in good hands. Looking forward to seeing more. Thank you for sharing.
Hahaha, wow that's great. I love how you added a little comino! Enjoy! I hope you get a chance to try my chicken enchiladas sometime! Here is a link: ua-cam.com/video/_fRXvpbLdnM/v-deo.html
Rockin Robin, your videos are a god send. This rice made my part tonight a hit. I ran out of time and couldn't make the churros. But I will this weekend! So delicious! I have been looking for the right recipes, and you have them! I told my friends! Thank you!
+Matthew Reed Hi Matthew, glad to hear my recipes are working out for you and that you enjoy them. Thanks for sharing them with your friends! Happy cooking!
Great John! Glad to hear everyone liked the Spanish rice! Especially the Professor! I hope you will spread the word about my site. Thanks again for the comment.
Hi Rockin Robin, I make it almost like you except I use actual garlic; however, I don't always have some on hand, so then I'll use garlic powder. Sometimes, I add some crushed red pepper flakes for a little heat. Thank you for posting the video.
I had to laugh when you placed the canned food on top the lid. I do that all the time. I used two bricks on top the lid of a water bath caner to produce the same effects of a pressure caner. It worked. All these little tidbits help so much especially to the beginner cook. You teach as well as demonstrate. Takes years to become an expert cook, it's an art form that can only be learned from those with much experience. Your channel does this. :o)
Tonithenightowl Thank you for your kind comments. That particular lid that I used in the video isn't a perfect fit but it works with the heavy weights on top! I'm glad you are enjoying the videos. :)
+Marcia Degagne Hi Marcia! You are welcome! Glad you enjoyed the Spanish rice. Please share if you can and help me spread the word about my channel. Have a great day!
nice, easy and great tasting recipe thanks Rockin R, mine came out great. i used fresh garlic but not fresh tomatoes, they look awful in the stores right now. can't wait for fresh out of my garden! i did add the chili powder. thanks again for sharing it's a keeper!
You are welcome! With this Spanish rice, you might also want to match it up with some of my delicious refried beans! Check out this recipe: ua-cam.com/video/X382ZAKp0jk/v-deo.htmlsi=8lyvBIq_GW_YL3wQ
Hi Rebecca, you must be my best fan! Thank you for all your comments. Please share my site with all your friends and family so we can get the word out! Thanks again!
Hi Rebecca, I say that with cooking, go ahead and experiment and see how it goes! No harm in that. Who knows you might find something you really like. Have fun and thanks for commenting!
Is Spanish Rice different than Mexican Rice? I make what I call a Mexican Rice. At one time I was toasting the rice as you did here. It seemed to take forever, so my patience or lack of got in the way and I just made rice the regular way and added my other ingredients, Bell, Onion, Garlic and diced tomatoes. Called it a day. I need to try again. Mine was good rice, but not quite the same as toasting the rice first. You seemed to toast them pretty fast. IIRC, mine took 20 minutes keeping a constant eye on it and stirring up. Maybe I did not use ebough oil.
i am so going to try your rice. rice kills me i never can make it right..always sticky. im thinking i need to cook that brown more brown before i add water, i dont know. I do know your rice looks absolutely wonderful!!! thank you for sharing
Minute rice is definitely different. You cannot make it the same way as using regular rice. Not saying it can't be done but you have to do things a bit differently and the taste is not as good.
Sorry you couldn't hear the video. The recipe can be found on my website here: www.cooking-mexican-recipes.com/recipe/spanish-rice-recipe/ Thanks for watching!

@buNi5D
Yes, vegetable broth would be a good substitute for the chicken broth! Enjoy.
Rockin Robin Cooks fantastic video ,its help me a lot:)
Great to hear! Thanks for stopping in!
Thanks for your comment!

Hi KillerKlown, Thanks for your sunshine! =)
Hi Rebecca, I say that with cooking, go ahead and experiment and see how it goes! No harm in that. Who knows you might find something you really like. Have fun and thanks for commenting!
What would be the best way to make this vegetarian? Would vegetable broth be a good substitute for the chicken broth? Thanks!
Hi Rebecca, sure use the red bell peppers. They are actually sweeter.
hi may i know if is there a basic procedure in spanish cooking in order to learn spanish or mexican recipe so easily? thank you
Hi Robin, when was that picture of you working in the kitchen taken?
Can you use Jasmine rice with this recipe?
Is Spanish Rice different than Mexican Rice? I make what I call a Mexican Rice. At one time I was toasting the rice as you did here.

IIRC, mine took 20 minutes keeping a constant eye on it and stirring up. Maybe I did not use ebough oil.
I know this is a silly question, but is this the same thing as Mexican rice? I would be so thrilled if it is!
Can you tell me what you think Mexican rice is like? In either case I think you should try this. Who knows you might just like this better!
i am so going to try your rice. rice kills me i never can make it right..always sticky. im thinking i need to cook that brown more brown before i add water, i dont know. I do know your rice looks absolutely wonderful!!! thank you for sharing
+lovetina2010 I hope my recipe turns out perfect for you! Let me know!
i'm going to attempt to brown the rice then cook it in a rice cooker. hopefully it works?!
YUM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks for stopping in!
So was Alfonso's mexican restaurant in San antonio
I remember seeing Alfons's in san antonio
No, Alfonsos was in California.
I have made Mexican rice in the instant pot. Do you have a recipe for this one in the instant pot? Thank you
That's a great request! I'll work on that as I don't have it yet.
I have Minuit Made white rice, does that work? The box does not say long rice
Minute rice is definitely different. You cannot make it the same way as using regular rice. Not saying it can't be done but you have to do things a bit differently and the taste is not as good.
so that how you make it never knew
Is the long grain rice instant?
No, instant rice cannot be browned like regular long grain rice. You can use it but it doesn’t turn out that well.
@@RockinRobinCooks thank you I wanted to make sure before I bought it.
Can I use red bell peppers instead of green...that's just what I have on hand. Forget to get green.
No sound. Where do I find this recipe with instructions, ingredients and amounts? TY
Sorry you couldn't hear the video. The recipe can be found on my website here: www.cooking-mexican-recipes.com/recipe/spanish-rice-recipe/ Thanks for watching!
Am I the only one hearing music but not what she is saying? Might be a problem on my end, not sure.
she was playing mexican music. was nice and i heard it too.
AMAZING LOVELY BEAUTIFUL RICE SPANISH THANKS YOU GOODNESS 🌟❤️🖤💚🤎 FAMILY DAPHNE COTTON ALWAYS 💜
My grandmother made spanish rice like this except she added bacon to the rice. Mmmmm
That would add some nice flavor too Mitsi! Thanks for watching!
Can't hear your directions due to the music, please take out the music for future viewers. tia
Hi Pam, yes I'm aware. That is an old video. I may have to make a new version one of these days!
I am ambidextrous too.I write with my right hand because my teachers use to slap my hands until I used my right hand to write
+Christa Parenteau I had a teacher in 3rd grade try and make me use my right hand for writing too! Thank goodness they don't do that anymore!
Can you make a list of the ingredients? It's hard to hear what you're saying over the music.
Here is a link to the written recipe: www.cooking-mexican-recipes.com/recipe/spanish-rice-recipe/
Recipe, please. You're beautiful.
The background music is too loud: Get rid of it. Also posting the ingredients on screen would be helpful.
Hi Tom, thanks for the feedback. That particular video was the very first video I made, I believe. Just trying to figure everything out.
