Oven Baked Spanish Rice
Ingredients
- 2 1/2 Tbsp. butter
- 1 1/2 Tbsp. chopped onion
- 1 cup long grain white rice
- 2 drops Tabasco sauce
- 1 1/2 cup tomato juice
- 1/2 bay leaf
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Preheat oven to 425 F. In a heavy saucepan, melt butter and saute onions until soft. Add rice and stir 30 seconds. Add tomato juice, tabasco, bay leaf and salt and pepper.Bring to a boil. Transfer everything to an oven proof casserole dish with a lid, cover and bake in oven 20 mins. When done, fluff rice with a fork. Notes: If you own any Corning or glass casserole dishes with glass lids you will not have to transfer the rice, as they can go from stove top to oven. Add in any other spices or veg. your recipe calls for before placing in the oven. I would add chopped tomatoes at the very end though because they will add to the moisture and could make the rice mushy.

Omg, this recipe brings back so many memories from when my grandmother used to make her baked Spanish rice...it was so good, and if I remember correctly her rice had peas in it. I think I would let the rice cook as the recipe calls...take it out of the oven, let it cool a little, toss in some pico de gallo, top off with some parmesan cheese and then bake a little longer to give it that extra something. Although, I have no doubt it'll be amazing either way!
