About Spanish style rice

Spanish Style Rice, a staple in Mexican and Spanish-inspired cuisine, is a flavorful dish made with long-grain white rice, tomatoes or tomato sauce, onions, garlic, and a blend of savory spices like cumin and chili powder. Often cooked in chicken or vegetable broth, it develops a rich, aromatic flavor and a vibrant reddish-orange hue. While traditional recipes can vary, some versions incorporate vegetables like peas, carrots, or bell peppers for added nutrition. Spanish Style Rice is naturally low in fat and provides a good source of carbohydrates for energy. However, sodium levels can vary depending on the broth and seasoning used, so opting for low-sodium ingredients is a healthier choice. It pairs wonderfully with proteins like chicken, beans, or fish, making it a versatile side dish for balanced meals.
