Authentic Spanish Rice Recipe

	Angelamarquardt / All my dishes 10 months, 2 weeks ago This is a wonderful side dish for your favorite mexican entree. Browning the rice first gives it a nutty flavor, and since it is not too overpowering, it goes well with anything! It takes a little time, but is worth it in the end!
