Simple Spanish Rice
4 servings
Ingredients
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 1/2 cups instant rice
1 onion, chopped
1 green bell pepper, chopped
1 (16 ounce) can diced tomatoes
1 (11 ounce) can vegetable juice (such as V8®)
1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
1/2 cup water
1 tablespoon white sugar
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir rice, onion, and bell pepper in hot oil until the vegetables are slightly tender and rice is lightly browned, 7 to 10 minutes.
