Homemade Spanish Style Rice A Roni ~Spanish Rice Recipe~ Noreen's Kitchen
Last week my friend Heather of the Kneady Homesteader Channel mentioned that she was having a hard time getting Spanish rice just right. This was not the first time she mentioned it to me. She likes to use the Rice-a-Roni brand of Spanish rice mix, but in an effort to get away from the box mixes and make her own, she was less than enthused about the outcome of several attempts. So I publicly promised to make her a video of how I do it.
This is that video. In my head I am humming the jingle, Rice-A-Roni the SanFrancisco Treat, Rice-A-Roni the flavor can't be beat..... Well, you get the idea. According to their website: The DeDomenico family all enjoyed an old Armenian dish consisting of rice, vermicelli pasta and chicken broth. The rice and pasta were sauteed in butter before the liquid was added, giving the dish its distinctive taste.
In 1958, Vince DeDomenico decided to take this recipe and produce it for sale in grocery stores. He placed the rice and pasta in a box, and added a dry seasoning mix in place of the liquid chicken broth. Because this product was made up of half rice and half pasta, he decided to call it Rice-A-Roni.
Chicken Rice-A-Roni was first introduced in the northwestern states in 1958. With it came the first Rice-A-Roni commercial, featuring San Francisco’s Cable Cars and the now famous jingle. Created in San Francisco, Rice-A-Roni would soon be known to all as The San Francisco Treat®!. Chicken RICE-A-RONI
The product was an immediate hit. Over the next couple of years, Rice-A-Roni spread across the United States and by 1962 was available for all of America to enjoy. Building on the success of the original Chicken flavor, several other varieties were added. Beef, Spanish and Fried Rice-A-Roni came along next and also became very popular.
Anyone who grew up in the 70's and 80's most likely ate this product and loved it. I know I did! My mom often put this out for a side dish at supper. Now that we are older and wiser, we are making an effort to move away from the processed, packaged, mixes of our youth and try to make those things from fresh, whole ingredients from our fridge and pantry. This is very simple to do and you are going to love it!
I admit that this one does have one small secret ingredient and that would be the tomato and chicken bullion that will give this dish the taste that I think Heather is missing from her package version. Aside from that, you already have what you need. Rice, broken angel hair or vermicelli pasta, onion, garlic, bell pepper, taco seasoning, canned tomatoes and butter. That's it! The other secret is in the preparation.
You can use butter like I have or you can use oil, of your choosing. I like to sautee the veggies just a little before adding the pasta and the rice. You will want to toast both of those until they take on a brown hue and emit a lovely nutty aroma. That is when you know it is time to move on, add your taco seasoning, broth and tomatoes. Give it a good stir and then cook like any other rice! Bring to a simmer, turn down the heat, cover and cook for 15 to 18 minutes or until the liquid is absorbed. Take off the heat and then allow to sit covered for an additional 10 to 15 minutes. Then fluff with a fork and serve.
I used broken angel hair pasta and I could have broken it up even more. You can also choose to use some orzo pasta if you like, but I wanted to stick closely to the boxed version for this so the angel hair it was. You can also adjust the seasoning if you like by adding more or less. I have used my homemade taco seasoning, but you can use your favorite packet version.
I hope that you give this version of homemade Spanish style Rice-A-Roni and I hope Heather gives it a try and finds that it hits the mark for her! I really think that the tomato and chicken bullion is the secret here!
As always, I hope you try it and I hope you love it!
Happy Eating!

HOW TO MAKE PERFECT MEXICAN RICE EVERY TIME: Easy Recipe and Tips for Cooking Delicious Mexican Rice
For years, I struggled to make good Mexican Rice. It was dry or mushy, and always inconsistent...until I learned HOW TO MAKE PERFECT RICE EVERY TIME. In this video, I share my easy recipe, as well as some tips for cooking delicious Mexican Rice. Some of you may call it Spanish Rice. What's funny is, when I was growing up, we just called this, rice. At any rate, read on for the recipe.
Mexican Rice
1 cup long grain rice
2 cups hot water
2 tsp. chicken bouillon
1/4 of an onion, chopped small
1/2 an 8oz. can of tomato sauce
1 tsp. cumin
salt to taste
*You can also add peas, carrots, and corn to Mexican rice, if you choose.
Place skillet on stove over medium high heat and coat the bottom of the pan with oil. Add in rice and brown, stirring continuously to ensure it doesn't burn. As rice begins to turn a light golden color, add in chopped onion and continue stirring until onion is soft and rice is golden. Next, add in the tomato sauce, the salt, the cumin, the hot water, and the chicken bouillon and mix well. (This is the last time you will stir.) When it comes to a boil, reduce the heat to low, cover pan with lid, and let cook untouched for 15 minutes. (Do not remove the lid during this time.) After 15 minutes, remove from stove, but leave lid on, and let sit for 5 to 10 minutes. Then remove lid and fluff rice with a fork. It should be cooked to perfection.
