Here is a recipe for super flavorful Spanish rice. The chipotle peppers in adobe sauce<\/a> give it smokiness and heat. I also toast the rice which enhances the flavors, but I’m not sure why!<\/p>\n

2 tablespoons oil
\n1 teaspoon cumin seeds
\n1 onion sliced
\n1\/2 tablespoon dried oregano
\n2 cups medium grained rice (I use jasmin rice)
\n3 chipotle chilis in adobo sauce<\/a> chopped
\n1 can diced tomatoes drained (save the liquid)
\nSalt
\nWater and tomato liquid to make 3 cups water<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Heat the oil in a saute or medium sauce pan and toast the cumin seeds.<\/li>\n
  2. Add the onion and cook until translucent<\/li>\n
  3. Add the oregano and rice and saute until the rice becomes opaque.<\/li>\n
  4. Add the chipotle chilis, diced tomatoes, water\/tomato liquid, and salt. If you taste the water, it should be fairly salty.<\/li>\n
  5. Bring to a boil, cover, and reduce heat to simmer for about 22-25 minutes.<\/li>\n
  6. Let sit for a few minutes then fluff.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
