Hello to all in Nancyland. Again, to you Nancy, a big THANK YOU for all you do for us who enjoy so very much.

After reading all the recipes in the most recent Newsletter it occurred to me that I should send my recipe in for Spanish Rice. It was given to me years ago when I was living in Newfoundland with my Navy husband. I had a great Spanish friend who gave it to me. I would not dream of using another recipe as this one is a definite winner.

Spanish Rice

1 cup long grain rice
1 green pepper, chopped very fine
1 onion, chopped very fine
1 (small) can tomatoes, chopped fine (use liquid that is in tomatoes too)
1 small can tomato sauce
2 cloves garlic, chopped fine
1 tsp. cumin, or to taste
salt and pepper, to taste
Cooking oil, for browning rice (I use Canola)

Brown rice in cooking oil till golden brown; Mix together in a small bowl all other ingredients adding at least a small can of water (use tomato sauce can). Stir well and then cover. Cook till done on low to medium heat WITHOUT STIRRING. Once the rice is done and has absorbed all the liquid, you will have a beautiful and delicious dish. Enjoy, it is worth the effort to make.
