ARROZ CON FIDEO (RICE WITH PASTA) image

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup white rice (basmati can be used)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 tablespoon butter
2 ounces angel hair pasta broken to pieces
2 tablespoons white onion
1 garlic clove
2 cups chicken broth
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

Steps:

Soak the white rice for 5 minutes. Drain. In a cooking pot, heat the oil over medium heat until hot but not smoking. Add the angel hair and fry for about 2 minutes, stirring constantly. It should be light brown. Incorporate the drained rice, cook for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the rice achieves a milky white color and it feels and sounds heavier when you move it. Add the chopped onion and garlic, stir and cook for another 2 minutes. Pour the broth over the rice, add the salt and lime juice, and once it comes to a boil, reduce the heat to low, cover with the lid, and cook for about 20 minutes. The rice is ready when the water has been absorbed and the rice is tender and cooked. Turn off the heat and keep it covered for at least 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork and serve. Serve with lime or Yogurt Sauce.
