Spanish Rrrrrrrice!!

This is a recipe that has been in my family for quite some time. The main thing here is to not rush the process, otherwise this is super easy!!

You will need:

1 cup raw long grain or short grain rice
1-4 oz can of tomato SAUCE
Garlic powder
Chili powder
Boullion of any flavor- half a cube
Water
Oil

Step 1: Brown the rice over low heat with a teaspoon or so of oil. DO NOT RUSH THIS PART! Brown the rice evenly and slowly so the rice will soak in the flavors while cooking.

Step 2: Once the rice is evenly browned, pour 1 and 1/2 cups of water over the top-WATCH OUT! It will sizzle! Bring that to a boil if it isn't already.

Step 3: Add your can of tomato sauce, STIR.

Step 4: Add your seasonings and your 1/2 cube of boullion. This is the tricky part. If you like hot and spicy add a lot of chili powder. If you want a milder flavor, ease up a bit. Basically what I do is sprinkle each seasoning until it covers the top of the rice(except the boullion), but you can do whatever you want. There is no right amount here, it's whatever you prefer.

Step 5: Cover and stir every few minutes. Make sure the heat is very low, or the rice will burn. Once the rice is tender.....buen provecho!!
