Best Perfect White Rice Spanish Caribbean Style Recipes
PUERTO RICAN WHITE RICE
I can never get steamed white rice to come out right. A friend from Puerto Rico showed me this method. Lift the lid and sample as often as you like without fear of ruining the rice! Perfect and delicious every time. Total cook time will vary depending on altitude.

PERFECT SPANISH RICE
You don't need to visit an authentic taqueria when using this recipe. You might even like it better than a restaurant's Spanish rice....I know I do. I was taught how to make this dish from my mother-in-law, a native of Guadalajara Mexico. The rice is moist and full of flavor and you can add cooked and shredded chicken and/or peas for a complete 1-dish meal. Great for potlucks, dinner parties and side dishes to your favorite Mexican meal. This recipe is relatively simple to make and inexpensive. Try it and impress YOUR Mexican mother-in-law :)

Steps:
- In a medium skillet or frying pan, heat your oil and add onion.
- Once the onion starts to brown on the edges add the garlic.
- Stir with a wooden spoon for a few minutes and add the dry rice to the onions and garlic. Stir rice frequently till the rice takes on a golden-orange color. Be careful not to burn the onions and garlic. If your bulbs look like they are starting to get over done immediately add the canned tomatoes.
- While waiting for the rice to brown get a medium sized cooking pot (must have lid or cover). Open the canned tomatoes and with clean cooking shears cut the tomatoes (in the can) till they are in small pieces.
- Pour the can of cut tomatoes in the pot with 1 can's worth of water.
- Toss in the chicken bouillon and you are now ready for the rice.
- Once your rice has developed a good color, transfer everything from the frying pan to the pot.
- Cover and bring to a hard boil.
- Once boiling reduce heat to a soft simmer for 15-20 minutes.
- After most of the liquid has been absorbed stir the rice and remove from heat.
- Allow rice to steam in the pot for 10-15 minutes. Add the green onion, stir then serve and enjoy.

PERFECT WHITE RICE
It is possible to make perfectly fluffy white rice on the stovetop. Sauteing the rice first helps keep the rice grains separate. Keeping the pot covered for the entire cooking time traps the steam which is necessary for properly cooking the rice, and is very important. The last 5 minutes off the heat allow the rice to finish in the residual steam, without burning the bottom.

- Stir in the rice. Return to a boil, cover tightly and simmer over low heat for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and dry.
- Turn off the heat and let stand for a few minutes. Gently stir in 1 tablespoon olive oil. The sides and bottom of the pan will be covered with a crust of browned rice, the con con Scrape off the browned bits and serve separately.
