Spanish Brown Rice

I love, love, love Spanish Rice, but I was curious if Spanish Rice would taste just as delicious if it was made with brown rice. I am happy to report, it does. I like this Spanish Brown Rice version because brown rice is loaded with nutrients and fiber, making this rice extra nutritious and filling.
