spanish rice, upstate ny style
(1 rating)
This seems to be a regional dish. Where I am from every Mom and Pop diner feature this from time to time. We don't have a single Spanish person there that I am aware of, so for me this is a surprising dish for the area. This is another dish I always do when the kids come home for the holidays because it's quick, easy, and you can make up a big batch to feed everyone with very little effort.
