Spanish Rice
I have big thanks to give Lil’ Luna for posting her recipe for Spanish Rice. We have made it a few times in the past few weeks. It is easy and tastes great.

- 1 chicken flavored bouillon cube
- dash of cumin
- dash of garlic pepper
Directions
- Heat oil in large frying pan on medium heat.
- Add rice and cook until golden brown.

This looks yummy
That seems like quite a bit of oil is 3/4 cup correct?
Yes it is right. It makes a HUGE amount of rice, though. What is pictured in the bowl is just a small of the total amount. This was the first time I've made this type of rice so I am not an expert, so I would suggest heading over to Lil' Luna and contacting her if you are wondering if you can reduce the oil amount.
