Spanish Rice

Spanish Rice is a great way to make an ordinary day zesty!

This meal can be made spicy if that is how it is how you prefer, if so, just add the optional ingredients in RED.

Ingredients:

Water

Tomatoes

Sausage

Spicy Sausage, (can be bought at same locations as regular sausage, however, they will usually have pieces of pepper in them)

Long grain rice (From the burlap bag, not instant)

Chili peppers

Olive oil

Recipe:

Bring water to a boil in a pot large enough for the amount of rice desired.

Once water is boiling, add the rice. (One bag has a lot of rice, so it is not likely that you will need an entire bag, be prepared to save the uncooked rice.) This should be cooked until it is soft, the difference between cooked and uncooked will be easy to see. When the rice is first put in the water it is very hard, but after being in the water for twenty to thirty minutes it becomes quite soft.

While the rice is cooking take out a frying pan and start to cook the sausage. The sausage should cook quite fast; it could even be done right around the time that the rice will be done. This way the rice will not become cold. When the sausage is done cooking, slice it up into round "Disks" and put it in the rice; mix it up.

Now, take the chili peppers and crush them or cut them into tiny pieces. Mix them with a small amount of the olive oil to make a mixture. Pour this over the rice and completely mix together.

Serve Hot!

This makes as many servings as is needed and remember to play around with recipes; everyone has a different taste, so try something new!
