Easy Spanish Rice

This rice is really simple and delicious! I make it two ways, sometimes with salsa and sometimes without. Recipes follow!

Spanish Rice:
Print Recipe

2 cups Long Grain Rice
1 cup mild Salsa
3 cups Water
3 Chicken Boullion Cubes
1 Tablespoon cumin
2 Garlic Cloves, chopped
6 sprigs of Cilantro, chopped
1 Tablespoon Butter

Place all ingredients in a pot, boil, then cover and reduce heat to low-medium (as you would for long grain rice.) Cook for 20 minutes, remove from heat and stir.

Here is the recipe without salsa, this one calls for onion. Honestly, sometimes the only reason I make the salsa one above is because I either don't want to chop onions or am super short on time!
