Time 25m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/2 cups long grain white rice
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/4 cup onion, finely diced
4 ounces el pato salsa fresca (or tomato sauce if you cant find el pato sauce)
2 1/2 cups chicken broth
1 teaspoon cumin
1 tablespoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
pepper

Steps:

  • in a bowl combine broth, cumin, chili powder, salt & half a can of el pato sauce (if you can't find el pato use regular tomato sauce).
  • brown rice, in hot oil, in a large skillet for approximately 5 minutes flipping occasionally.
  • add diced onion, minced garlic, sauté for 1 minute.
  • add seasoned broth, bring to a boil.
  • reduce heat to low, cover and simmer for 15 minutes. do not check on the rice before the 15 minutes is up, this will allow steam to escape and may make your rice turn out undercooked.
  • most of the water will absorb before the 15 minute time limit but keep covered and continue to steam for the entire 15 minutes. this will make for perfect rice that isnt crunchy.
  • after 15 minutes turn heat off, uncover & flip rice over. recover & let sit until everything else is ready. you can let the rice sit covered for up to 25 minutes which will cook out most of the moisture & leave perfect fluffy rice.

My family loves a variety of ethnic foods, but this is one of their favorites. My niece, who is of Spanish descent, lives with us and has tweaked my old Spanish rice recipe to make it just like her grandma's. My mother-in-law has also added this recipe to her school meals menu (minus the jalapeno), and it is a hit with the students and faculty.

AUTHENTIC SPANISH RICE

It's difficult to find really good Spanish rice. Most restaurants totally miss the mark on this Mexican staple. This is just like my Mother-in-law used to make.

Categories     Rice Sides

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 1/2 long grain rice*
1/4 c vegetable oil
14 1/2 oz can of chicken broth
enough water to make 4 cups liquid
8 oz canned diced tomatoes
1/4 c diced bell pepper
1/4 c chopped celery
1/4 c chopped onion
1 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp chili powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp ground pepper
frozen peas and carrots

Steps:

  • 1. Heat oil in a large dutch oven over medium heat and brown rice once oil is heated.Fry until the rice is golden.
  • 2. Add fresh vegetables and tomato (along with a little of the liquid). Stir and sauté for a bit to soften the onion. The frozen carrots and peas (mixed together in a bag found in the freezer section at the grocery store) is as desired but if I had to measure it out it's probably about ¾ cup.
  • 3. Add broth, water and seasonings. Mix well; Bring to a boil; reduce heat to simmer and continue cooking for 20-25 minutes. Rice is ready when the liquid is absorbed and the rice is fluffy.
  • 4. *NOTE Do Not use Uncle Ben's rice as it is "Converted" and will not puff up when fried. It will not be light when the cooking process is finished. I usually use an inexpensive store brand because it's what works best.
