Spanish Rice
Spanish rice is a flavorful dish that can support brain health with its nutritious ingredients. Made with brown rice, tomatoes, peppers, onions, and garlic, it provides a good dose of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants.
Ingredients
- 1 pint brown rice
- 1 sweet onion roughly chopped
- 2 tsp garlic roughly chopped
- 14 oz diced tomatoes canned
- 1 tbsp tomato paste
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 3 cups vegetable broth
- 1 tsp sea salt
- ½ cup cilantro
- 2 tbsp lime juice
- 1 jalapeno pepper finely chopped
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
- In a food processor or blender, combine the tomatoes, onion, and garlic and blend until smooth. In a liquid measuring cup, measure out 2 cups of the mixture, and discard the rest.
- Warm the oil in a Dutch oven over medium heat until simmering. Add the rice and jalapeno and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 3 minutes.
- Add the vegetable broth, tomato mixture, tomato paste, and salt. Stir to combine, then increase heat to medium-high and bring mixture to a boil.
- Cover the pot with the lid and carefully transfer to the oven. Bake until liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender (about 60 to 75 minutes), stirring halfway through.
- Remove from oven, stir in cilantro, lime juice, and season to taste with salt and pepper.
