: I NEED A RECIPE FOR SPANISH RICE THAT IS NOT DRY. THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP The following recipe produces a moist Spanish rice with a wonderful flavor. It can be easily doubled or tripled and saves beautifully in the refrigerator... (besides the leftovers are scrumptious!) I usually serve it along with refried beans and either fajitas, enchiladas, or tacos. 6 slices bacon 1 C uncooked regular or brown rice 1/2 C chopped green pepper 1 large onion, chopped 1 tsp. salt 1/4 tsp. pepper 2 C. water 1/3 C catsup 16 oz. can tomatoes, undrained and cut up Fry bacon until crisp, drain on paper towels, reserving 2-3 T. drippings. Saute onion, rice and green pepper in reserved drippings until onion is limp. Add bacon that has been crumbled and the remaining ingredients. Cover and simmer30-45 minutes or until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed. Serves 4-5.
