Need a recipe for Spanish rice

Food 101 Forum

Help. I need a recipe for Spanish rice. My mom's just is not as good as restaurant rice.

so glad mom doesn't have a computer

2-3 tbsp olive oil, 1 cp chopped onion, 1-2 tsp chopped garlic, 3 cps chicken broth (I save my broth when I have to boil a chicken and freeze it, or you can use bouillon), 1 tomato, chopped med fine, 1 1/2 cps med-long grain rice (uncooked), salt & pepper to taste, 1 tsp cumin, 1 tsp chili powder, 1 tsp coriander (optional), 1/2 jar green olives (optional)

fry onion in oil until soft, add garlic and fry for 1 min, add spices and fry for additional minute, add rice and fry till translucent (don't worry if it's too dry, just stir constantly so it doesn't burn and keep heat med-low), add tomato and fry 1 min, add chicken broth and olives. Turn up heat and stir well to allow ing to mix. Once at boil, reduce heat to lowest setting and cover. Cook for about 20 min or until top of rice is flat with little holes in it. Remove from heat and keep covered for about 5 min more. Fluff with fork and serve. Makes 3 cups (more with olives) of cooked rice.

Thanks KristianKim. I had heard about using cumin, but not coriander, so I will have to try that.
