Dear Mari,

I was looking for a recipe for some sweet potatoes and low and behold I found a recipe from an unknown author for Spanish Rice. I do not know if this is the Mahatma spanish Rice Mix Clone but you can play with it and maybe you can get wat you want.

For LEMON RICE, substitute 1 1/2 Tbsp. grated lemon rine, 2 tsp. dried parsley and 1/2 tsp. cracked black pepper for the last 3 ingredients excluding coarse salt.

Try mixing dried sweet red pepper flakes and dried tomatoes chopped up get the flavor you want.

I have made the Chicken Rice and my family loved it using homemade chicken bouillon. Or you can go to the healthfood store and by bouillon that would be lest salty. Anyway I did not use any coarse salt to the recipe.

Let me know if this recipe for Spanish Rice is a clone for Mahalma Spanish Rice Mix.
