Spanish rice with bell peppers and tomatoes
This is the weeknight dinner the box was made for: toasted rice, pasta, and tomato powder that blooms into sauce when you add broth. Bell peppers go soft and sweet alongside, and you'll have dinner in thirty minutes.

To buy
- 2 cups broth (chicken or vegetable)
From your shelf
- 1 box Spanish rice mix (Goya)
Staples
- 1 tablespoon oil
- to taste salt
- to taste pepper
- Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Empty the contents of the box into the pan and stir constantly for 2 minutes until the rice and vermicelli turn light brown and smell toasted; you will hear the vermicelli crack.
- Pour 2 cups broth into the pan, bring to a boil, then cover and reduce heat to low. Set a timer for 18 minutes and do not lift the lid.
- When the timer sounds, the rice should be tender and the liquid absorbed. Fluff with a fork, taste, and season with salt and pepper as needed. Let rest for 2 minutes off heat before serving.
Note Swap the broth for tomato juice if you want deeper tomato flavor. Leftovers keep in the fridge for three days and reheat well in a skillet with a splash of water. Serve with lime wedges and hot sauce on the side, or stretch it with a fried egg on top.
