Steps:
- Tear the chili into flat pieces and toast in a heavy skillet over medium heat, pressing firmly with a spatula until it cracks, blisters and changes color, about 45 seconds per side. Place in a bowl and cover with boiling water. Weight with a plate to keep the pieces submerged, and let stand for 30 minutes. Drain and place in a blender jar.
- Heat 1 teaspoon of oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring frequently, until browned, about 7 minutes. Add the garlic and cook 2 minutes. Scrape into the blender and add 1/2 cup of broth. Blend to a smooth puree and strain through a medium-mesh sieve into a small saucepan. Stir in the salt and remaining broth. Set over low heat.
- Combine 1 1/2 teaspoons of oil and the rice in a deep pot over medium heat. Stir frequently until the rice is light brown, about 7 to 10 minutes. Carefully add the broth mixture -- it will spatter -- stir well, scrape down the sides of the pan, cover and simmer over medium-low heat for 15 minutes. (More broth may be required to make the rice tender; add 1/4 cup at a time and continue cooking.) Remove from the heat and let stand, covered, 5 to 10 minutes, until the grains are tender but still quite firm. Season with additional salt if needed.

ARROZ ROJO (RED RICE)
Also known as arroz Mexicano, these tomato-slicked grains of rice taste amazing alongside beans, tacos, enchiladas and just about any spread of meat, seafood and vegetables. Esteban Castillo, the author of the "Chicano Eats" cookbook and blog, toasts the rice in garlicky oil first to give the final dish an even richer flavor. A simple spice blend does, too.

Steps:
- In a small bowl or measuring cup, stir together the chicken stock, tomato paste, onion powder, coriander, cumin and pepper.
- In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium. Add the garlic and rice, and cook, stirring frequently, until the rice is fragrant and lightly toasted, 3 to 4 minutes. Pour the stock mixture into the skillet and bring to a full boil. Stir in the mixed vegetables, then reduce the heat to low, cover with a tight-fitting lid and cook until the rice has absorbed all of the liquid, 15 to 20 minutes.
- Turn off the heat and let the rice sit, covered, to steam for another 15 minutes. Uncover and let the steam release for 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork. Season with salt to taste. Serve alongside your favorite dishes.
