Homestyle Spanish Rice

I like to make this with brown rice.  Makes it healthier!  And we like lots of veggies in there as well.

Get the ingredients ready.  Celery, jalapeno, tomato, and onion.  Also salt, pepper, cumin, and cilantro.  Garlic would be another option.

Dice all those vegies.  Try to make the dice about the same sizes so they cook more evenly.

Add a little oil to the sauce pan, put in the diced veggies and seasonings -- salt, pepper, cumin, and cilantro to taste.  Go easy, you can alway add more, but it's impossible to take out.  Stir until everything is mixed together.

The brown rice has been par boiled since it takes a lot longer to cook that regular white rice.  This is about one cup of rice.

Add the rice to the veggie mixture along with a splash of beef broth.  Stir it all together, put the lid on the saucepan and let it steam on medium heat until veggies are tender and rice is fully cooked.

Dish it up and enjoy.  We are having chicken enchiladas tonight with the homestyle spanish rice on the side.
