How to make classic Spanish rice on the stove top
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 20 minutes
Total Time: 30 minutes

Ingredients

  • 2 Tbp avocado oil
  • 1/2 yellow onion finely chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 cup white rice
  • 1 Tbsp chili powder
  • 2 tsp dried basil
  • 2 cups chicken broth or water
  • 2 Tbsp butter or ghee
  • 2 Tbsp tomato paste
  • 3 Tbsp salsa optional

Instructions

  • Heat the avocado oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and saute, stirring frequently, until translucent, about 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Add the garlic, white rice, chili powder, and dried basil. Cook and stir constantly for 2 minutes.
  • Add the remaining ingredients to the saucepan, starting with the broth. Bring mixture to a full boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cover and cook 15 minutes (or the amount of time recommended on your package of rice), or until liquid is absorbed.
  • Remove rice from the heat and fluff it with a fork (or carefully stir). Place cover back on the pot and allow it to sit an additional 5 to 10 minutes.
  • Serve alongside your entree of choice.
