Not mine-we use a pound of bacon. Found on another site. Just FYI if you’re rained out and cooking inside

NANA ARMIDA’s Spanish rice; made in Revere ware pot. I don’t have a photo yet, because I still have to make it, myself. I’ve had her rice, and it’s delicious.
******************************************
3 Cups Mahatma Long grain white rice. Do not use short grain rice.

4 TBSP oil. ( 2 oil, 2 vegetable oil)

1/2 of one Onion, finely chopped.

3 good size teeth of fresh garlic, or cloves, whatever you call them.

1 can of Hunts tomato sauce (she only uses Hunts).

64 oz: (2 boxes of broth, or 4 cans)

2 packets of Sazón Goya (has spices you will need). Saffron, Coriande , Annatto

One stalk of celery cut in half.

Salt pepper & taste.

Ingredients are listed in order of use.

She said, “take your time making this, don’t rush it.”
—————
1. Brown rice in oil. All the rice needs to be coated and finally have a nice tan color. Don’t leave it unattended because it’s easy to burn it.

2. Add chopped onion and garlic when the rice is 3/4 way to browning.

3. Add tomato sauce. You want to kind of cook the tomato sauce in the pan.

4. Add your chicken broth, & packet of Sazón.

5. Add two halves of a celery stalk.

6. Turn burner, to medium heat, cover the pot, allow it to simmer, for about 20 minutes without stirring.

7. She doesn’t add salt anymore for health reasons. Chicken broth, season packet, already contains salt.
 
Nice - very similar to how I make cilantro-lime rice. Brown it in oil, add garlic towards the end of browning, cook rice in chicken broth, fluff and toss in cilantro and lime juice.

That sounds great except for the celery, I hate it.

Use a similar recipe to make 'Mexican' rice.
Found some Goya Adobo seasoning online after seeing it mentioned here and that stuff is da sh!t for south of the border recipes.
