This is an easy/good recipe for Spanish Rice:

 EASY SPANISH RICE  <T>
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

 1 chopped onion            |  Sauté in water till tender
 1 chopped green pepper     |

 1 C uncooked rice
 1/2 C canned tomatoes with green chilies (I use the diced Ro*Tel brand)
 1/4 t ground turmeric
 1 t ground cumin
 salt (orginal recipe calls for 1/2 t salt - I do not add salt)
 1 3/4 C water (original recipe calls for 2 C - I like my rice drier)


Add remaining ingredients to onion/green pepper
Bring to boil - Reduce heat and simmer till rice is done
(time will vary according to kind of rice used)

I have used both long grain brown rice and long grain Uncle Bens Converted Rice
(preferred by daughter) - both are good.

I frequently double the recipe and dump in the whole can of
green chilies (10 oz)
