Too much water
Rated: 1 stars out of 5

I would try to make this again with only 2c. water...possibly with chix broth instead. Just awfull with the 31/2 c. water. ... You can actually taste the water in the rice. AWFULL!!!! The seasonings were great, but what is she thinking with the liquid??? I may try this again, but I am thinking Zatarans spanish rice is a better bet than this recipe. Read more

My San Antonio Spanish Rice is better!
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

Brown 1 cup white rice in 2 tablespoons of oil. Dice 1 garlic clove, small tomato, small onion, small bell pepper. Saute... vegetables with already browned rice. Add 1 tablespoon Knorr's Caldo de Tomate, 2 cups water or chicken broth, 1/2 teaspoon cummin, dash pepper, salt (optional). The Tomate has salt in it. Return to boil, cover, turn heat as low as possible. Simmer 15 minutes on low. Let set 5 minutes and serve. I like to serve with tamales or enchiladas. I also add 1/4 cup thawed in microwave frozen peas and 1/2 cup frozen and thawed yellow corn.Read more

Way too much fluid.
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

After making this tonight for the first time I have to concur with some of the above statements. Way too much water and... tomatoes and just tasted salty. I will try it again next week with less fluid and used the chicken stock/broth instead. Should make it better.Read more
