Photo: Spanish Rice Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 (2-inch) piece tocino (fat back), cut into 4 equal pieces
- 1 Spanish onion, diced
- 4 cups rice
- 8 cups water
- 2 tablespoons bijol (tumeric)
- 2 bay leaves
Directions
In a deep pot, render the tocino over medium heat. When oil lightly coats the bottom of the pan, saute the onions until translucent. Add the rice, tossing until heated. Add the water and bring to a boil. Add in the bay leaves and bijol.
Cook until most of the water is absorbed at medium heat. Then cover and cook at very low heat until done, approximately 20 minutes.

It really doesn't matter what kind of rice you use. RIce usually only takes that long regardless.

We tried this recipe at our place over the weekend. There is no taste to this rice, and we must not have picked the right "generic" rice, because it took an awful lot longer than 20 mins to make the pot right. This is really not a dish to use for your mexican meal.
