Easy Peasy Lemon Squeezy Spanish Rice


Any good Mexican dish deserves a tasty side of Spanish rice. But Spanish rice, while oh so tasty, is generally made with white rice. We all know by now that white anything is a no-no because of the lack of nutritional value. Here is a way to compliment your main dish with a brown rice side.

Spanish Brown Rice

1 cup brown rice
2 cups broth
1/2 Tbsp chili powder
1/2 Tbsp cumin
1 can diced tomatoes, drained (or 2-3 medium fresh tomatoes, diced)
1 clove garlic, minced
1/4 onion, diced
Salt and pepper to taste

Toss all ingredients in a pot. Bring to a boil, stir once and cover. Turn down heat to low and cook for about 45 minutes. Fluff with a fork and serve!
