If you hang around in elevators that play old-timey music, or if you've taken ballroom dance lessons, you'll maybe get a laugh out of the visual pun. Otherwise, it's Photoshopped blue rice.
Spanish rice is easy to make if you know how to make regular rice. I just use short grain so that it cooks quickly, and my rule of thumb is one part water to two parts rice. One half-cup rice makes enough for two people, so you need one cup liquid.
Instead of water, use chicken broth. You can make it out of bullion, or you can buy it ready-made at the grocery store. Cook the rice as usual. I sometimes add a little onion. Once the rice is cooked, stir in a couple of tablespoons of tomato sauce (you can make some out of water and tomato paste) - enough to turn the rice red. Then stir in a couple of tablespoons of salsa. Depending on the salsa, you may need to add salt and pepper to taste. ¡Olé!
