This Spanish rice-inspired spicy tomato rice recipe is super easy to make and is always a crowd-pleaser. When was the last time you had Spanish rice? You can substitute paprika for the chili powder.

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon butter

• 2 cups uncooked long-grain white rice

• ⅓ cup diced jalapeno pepper

• ⅓ cup chopped green onion

• 1 clove garlic, crushed

• 1 teaspoon chili powder, or to taste

• 1 teaspoon ground cumin

• ½ teaspoon salt

• ½ teaspoon chipotle chile powder, or to taste

• ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper, or to taste (Optional)

• 2 ¼ cups chicken stock

• ½ cup tomato sauce

Directions

• Melt butter in a pot over medium-low heat. Stir rice, jalapeno, green onion, and garlic together in the melted butter until rice is completely coated with butter. Add chili powder, cumin, salt, chipotle chile powder, and cayenne pepper; cook and stir until fragrant, about 1 minute.
• Stir chicken stock and tomato sauce into the rice mixture. Bring to a simmer, cover the pot, reduce heat to low, and simmer for 20 minutes. Turn the heat off and leave the pot covered on the burner for 8 minutes. Remove the cover and fluff the rice with a fork.

Notes

• Short-grain rice, such as Arborio or Valencia rice, is often used for Spanish-style rice because it absorbs flavors well and becomes creamy when cooked.
• The base of many Spanish rice dishes is the sofrito, which consists of sautéed onions, garlic, and bell peppers. Cook these ingredients until they are soft and fragrant before adding other components.

• 1 teaspoon unflavored gelatin

• 1 tablespoon cold water

• 1 ½ cup packed dark brown sugar

• ¼ cup butter

• 1 cup whipping cream

• 1 ½ cup whole milk

• ¼ cup cornstarch

• 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour

• 3 egg yolks, lightly beaten

• 1 egg, lightly beaten

• 1 teaspoon vanilla

• 3 bananas

• 2 ounces of white baking chocolate, melted and slightly cooled

• 2 ounces of dark chocolate, melted and slightly cooled

• Pastry for a Single-Crust Pie

• 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour

• ½ teaspoon salt

• ¼ cup shortening

• ¼ cup butter, cut up

• ¼ cup ice water

Directions

• Preheat oven to 450°F. If using, prepare Pastry for a Single-Crust Pie. On a lightly floured surface, use your hands to slightly flatten pastry. Roll pastry from center to edges into a circle about 12 inches in diameter. Wrap pastry circle around the rolling pin. Unroll into a 9-inch pie plate. Ease pastry into pie plate without stretching it. Trim pastry to 1/2 inch beyond edge of pie plate. Fold under extra pastry even with the plate’s edge. Crimp edge as desired. Generously prick bottom and sides of pastry with a fork. Line pastry with a double thickness of foil. Bake for 8 minutes. Remove foil. Bake for 6 to 8 minutes more or until golden. Cool on a wire rack. (If using refrigerated piecrust, follow package directions.)
• In a 6-ounce custard cup stir gelatin into the cold water; set aside to soften.
• In a large saucepan combine 1 cup of the brown sugar and the butter. Cook and stir over medium heat for 10 to 12 minutes or until mixture is slightly dark brown in color and smells almost burnt. Immediately add cream (mixture may sputter). Remove from heat.
• In another small saucepan, heat milk just until bubbly around the edges. Remove from heat.
• In a medium bowl stir together the remaining 1/2 cup brown sugar, cornstarch, flour, and salt. Add egg yolks, egg, and vanilla. Whisk about 1 minute or until fluffy. Gradually stir hot milk into egg mixture. Add egg mixture to cream mixture in saucepan. Cook and stir over medium heat about 15 minutes or until thickened and bubbly. Remove from heat; stir in gelatin mixture.
• Cut bananas into 1/2-inch slices; fold into cream mixture. Pour into pastry shell. Cover surface of filling with plastic wrap and chill pie for 4 to 24 hours.
• Before serving, fill a small, heavy resealable plastic bag with melted white chocolate. Fill another bag with melted dark chocolate. Snip a small hole in one corner of each bag. Pipe chocolates over pie.
