 This recipe provides a good base for restaurant quality Spanish rice; also allowing you to add ingredients and utilize less oil.  Instead of tomato sauce, I used a can of petite diced tomatoes, with the liquid, instead of salt I sprinkled powdered chicken bouillon,  and lastly, instead of Anaheim peppers, I used red, yellow, and green peppers; diced. It was amazing!
