Spanish Rice Pronto
My mom used to make this, and i found her recipe - it's from a 1968 minute rice calendar as september's feature. I've made a few changes though - using a little olive oil instead of 1/4 cup of fat like the original recipe, and adding 1 can of tomatoes and 1 small can of tomato sauce, sometimes i use black olives instead of green ones or both. This is a quick and hearty dinner, excellent with a salad.
Steps
Heat oil in frypan and saute onion and green pepper till just soft , then add ground beef and break up as cooking so it is well crumbled.
Cook meat very well& drain fat if any.
Add tomato sauce and hot water , salt and pepper- bring to a boil.
Once boiling add in minute rice , stir , reduce heat and simmer uncovered for 5 minutes.
Garnish with sliced olives.
