Add the tomato mixture to the skillet (be careful, it will sizzle and splatter) and cook for 2 minutes while stirring. Add the chicken broth, stir, and cover with a ild. Reduce to a simmer and cook for about 30 minutes or until the liquid is totally absorbed. Fluff with a fork to stir in the tomato bits that have risen to the top. Serve warm.

THE BEST AUTHENTIC SPANISH RICE



The Best Authentic Spanish Rice image

If you like the kind of spanish rice served in Mexican restaurants, you will LOVE this recipe. Browning the rice gives it that fluffy and nutty taste that makes it so good. The flavor is not meant to be overpowering, so it goes very good with spicy entrees. This recipe was given to me by a friend who makes the best authentic Mexican dishes ever. Enjoy!

1/8 teaspoon garlic salt (to taste)
4 cups water
vegetable oil (no olive oil)
