Spanish Rice

Spanish Rice

EverydayCooked

Spanish rice is a seasoned dish made by sautéing white rice with tomatoes, onions, and garlic before simmering in broth, giving it a distinctive reddish hue and aromatic flavor profile. The cooked grains absorb spices like cumin and paprika, creating a savory side dish central to Tex-Mex and Latin American meals. While carbohydrate-dense from the rice base, it provides moderate fiber and vitamin C from tomato content, though sodium levels vary significantly depending on preparation methods.
