Spanish Rice Recipe
Recipe
There are so many wonderful ways to pair rice with your favorite Cook’s Delight® soup base. Rice is a versatile grain that can really accentuate the theme of any dish. Try modifying the classic pilaf using butternut squash, apple and cranberries in place of the usual mirepoix and use Cook’s Delight® Organic Vegetable Soup Base to add depth of flavor to aromatic basmati or jasmine rice. Drawing inspiration from stuffed grape leaves, dill, mint and lemon juice added generously to long grain rice and sweet onion with Cook’s Delight® Chicken Stock is a nice side for Mediterranean dishes. Here is a classic: Spanish Rice. Spanish rice is a must when serving Mexican dishes but often is just a disappointing ball of orange rice. Try this version to wow your guests! You can kick this up a notch by using whole cumin seed, toasting them in a dry pan until they are fragrant, taking on a bit of color and then grinding them in a mortar and pestle after they cool.
