PERFECT WHITE RICE



Perfect White Rice image

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.

Provided by Clara Gonzalez

Categories     Lunch

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 3

5 tablespoons vegetable oil (divided)
4 teaspoons salt
4 cups rice ((long grain, Carolina))

Steps:

  • In a medium aluminum pot (Amazon affiliate link) (minimum 2.5 liters [0.5 gal] capacity) heat 3 tablespoons of oil over medium heat, add the salt. When the oil is a little hot add 6 cups [1.4 liters] of water, taking care not to splash.If you use another type of pot, just combine oil, salt, and water and heat over medium heat.
  • When the water reaches boiling point, add the rice and cook, stirring regularly to prevent it from sticking to the bottom.
  • When the water has evaporated, cover with the lid and cook over very low heat (but enough to generate steam) for 15 minutes.Remove the lid, stir, add the remaining oil and cover again. This oil will help the rice to shine, and the concón will be crispier.In 5 more minutes taste the rice, it should be firm but soft inside. If necessary cover again and leave for another 5 minutes on low heat.
  • As soon as the rice is ready, remove it from the pot and place it in a serving dish (this prevents the concón from getting soggy), and fluff it with a fork. Scrape off the concón (rice stuck to the bottom) and serve separately.Serve per suggestions above the recipe

PERFECT SPANISH RICE



Perfect Spanish Rice image

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 :)

Time 50m

Yield 4 cups, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 cup white rice (I like to use pearl)
14 1/2 ounces diced tomatoes (I like Contadina's brand with Italian herbs)
1 small onion, diced
4 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 cup olive oil
2 teaspoons chicken bouillon
2 tablespoons green onions, chopped (optional)

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.
