Spanish Rice

May. 28, 2014

What sort of BiCultural casa would  this be if we didn’t make Spanish rice? We actually love this dish and it pairs wonderfully with so many different meats that it can be used even on night when Mexican isn’t on the menu.

    This is an interesting way to make Spanish rice I am allergic to bell peppers so I definitely can’t use those.
