Spanish Rice
This is dish my mom made often when we were growing up. I have to admit I really didn’t like it much but today when I make it, it is pure comfort food. I wouldn’t use an instant type of rice for this dish. The rice will get mushy if you do. You can use about any variety of rice but for this dish I use Uncle Ben’s rice. This dish is economical and tastes great too!
