Welcome to the channel and introduce the recipe for Spanish rice.

State the ingredients needed: 1 cup jasmine rice, 1 piece onion, 2 small roma tomatoes, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 chicken flavored bouillon cube, 1 teaspoon minced garlic, and water.

Rinse the rice quickly in a strainer to remove excess starch.

Use paper towels to tap the rice and remove any excess water to prevent splattering when added to oil.

Chop the tomatoes and onion roughly and add them to the blender along with the chicken bouillon cube.

Blend the ingredients until smooth, adding a little water to help blend if necessary.

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a pot over low heat.

Add the rinsed and dried rice to the pot and sauté for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent burning.

Add 1 teaspoon of minced garlic to the rice and continue to sauté for an additional 2 minutes.

Pour in the blended tomato mixture and rinse the blender with a little water, adding that to the pot as well.

Increase the heat to bring the mixture to a boil, adding more water if necessary (about 4 tablespoons) based on the type of rice used.

Stir gently to incorporate the chicken bouillon and bring to a boil.

Once boiling, reduce the heat, cover the pot, and let it cook for 12 to 15 minutes.

Check the rice after 15 minutes, stirring gently to prevent sticking.

Turn off the heat and let the rice sit for 5 minutes before serving.

Fluff the rice gently with a fork before serving.
