Recipe Notes
This recipe is based on Rice-A-Roni Spanish Rice. Those products not only taste terrible but are terrible for you.
The argument is always that these products are easier, cheaper and take less time than making your own. As with our analysis of Hamburger Helper, this is simply not true. This takes about the same amount of time, tastes better, is cheaper, and is much better for you, with fewer calories, less salt, and more fiber. To make it even more Spanish, add a few coarsely diced black olives toward the end of cooking.
