Spanish rice

ARROZ

This staple grain is often paired with beans in Latin American dishes and shares its name with the Italian word for the same food.

"Spanish rice" is a common English term for rice cooked with tomatoes, spices, and often vegetables, but in Spanish, rice itself is simply called "arroz." The clue plays on the literal translation—while "Spanish rice" might make you think of a dish, the answer is just the basic Spanish word for rice. It’s a straightforward vocabulary clue where knowing the language gives you the answer directly.
