I did the Rice Pilaf recipe from the product care card in the box. I didn't have all the ingredients and I added some - shrimp & yellow peppers. It turned out great. You could experiment following the recipe for liquid and rice amounts and then add the spices that you need for spanish rice. It would be worth a try if you couldn't find a recipe. Also, do you have access to the Spanish Season's Best - maybe they have something?
