This is an easy/good recipe for Spanish Rice:
 
  EASY SPANISH RICE  <T>
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
 
  1 chopped onion            |  Sauté in water till tender
  1 chopped green pepper     |
 
  1 C uncooked rice
  1/2 C canned tomatoes with green chilies (I use the diced Ro*Tel brand)
  1/4 t ground turmeric
  1 t ground cumin
  salt (orginal recipe calls for 1/2 t salt - I do not add salt)
  1 3/4 C water (original recipe calls for 2 C - I like my rice drier)
 
 
Add remaining ingredients to onion/green pepper
Bring to boil - Reduce heat and simmer till rice is done
(time will vary according to kind of rice used)
 
I have used both long grain brown rice and long grain Uncle Bens Converted Rice
(preferred by daughter) - both are good.
 
I frequently double the recipe and dump in the whole can of
green chilies (10 oz)
