Brown Spanish Rice Recipe
Brown Spanish rice caters to those who prefer using brown rice whenever possible, since traditional Spanish rice recipes consistently call for white rice but health-conscious cooks want nutritious alternatives. This healthier version maintains authentic Spanish rice flavors while providing additional fiber and nutrients through whole grain brown rice. The adaptation process ensures proper cooking techniques while delivering the familiar taste profile people expect from Spanish rice.
I like to use brown rice whenever possible, but Spanish rice recipes all seem to call for white. This brown Spanish rice recipe is the result of many attempts to come up with an easy yet spicy Tex-Mex version.
