Source of this recipe and cloves in spanish rice
 

This is a near copy of my mother's old recipe for spanish rice, found in
Google. My mother is dead, and my e-mail to the web site owner could not
be delivered, and no clue where either of them got the recipe.

Does anyone know where the recipe came from?

Also, has anyone ever heard of putting cloves in Spanish rice before?
Where did such an idea come from? Not Spain?
