Don’t ever buy store bought Spanish Rice again! This is so easy and cheap to make and it was really delicious! I already had all of the ingredients and there is nothing special you need to buy. It makes about four cups so there is enough for the entire family.

  18. ;Learn something every day.Never heard of Spanish rice having lived there for two years. I have cook savoury rice almost that same way which is English/India Empire dish. In Spain they make piella in the market places on saints days and feed hundreds of people. Big pan the size of a table top and just as you say slowly built it up with chicken fish and rice with stock from bones and herbs. I had one plate of this in Torro and in Granada high street nera the old Almhambra road to palace. Watched it all from start with three helpers on chef. I was surprised and honoured by being given a portion along with all the Spanish crowd. They said God loves us all English forget us not. I found peace that day like never before in the very nation we bankrupted when the Pope sent Spain to build navy and attack England with 1588 Armada. Being historian sometimes builds bridges into peoples hearts. It did that day for me. We are all Gods children dear one.
