Arroz Pilaf image

When we cook Tex-Mex this recipe from Cheryl and Bill Jamison is the one we use. It is a fantastic side dish that has it's own wonderful flavor - one that complements and doesn't compete with grilled meats, burritos, stews, tacos....whatever we serve.

Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 tablespoons oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 medium onion, chopped fine
1 cup rice, uncooked
2 small roma tomatoes, chopped
2 teaspoons chili powder (Gebhardt's is great)
2 cups beef stock or 2 cups chicken stock
3/4 teaspoon salt (or to taste)

Steps:

  • In a medium saucepan, heat the oil (the Jamisons use peanut oil).
  • Saute the onion and garlic over medium heat until soft.
  • Add the rice, tomatoes, and chili powder; saute another couple of minutes, stirring to coat the rice with oil.
  • Pour in the stock, sprinkle with salt if desired, and bring to a boil.
  • Reduce the heat, cover the pan, and simmer the rice for 15-18 minutes, until the liquid is absorbed.
  • Remove the pan from the heat and let the rice steam, covered for 5-10 minutes.
  • Serve with your favorite Tex-Mex dishes.
  • I have made this ahead for a dinner party and reheated it in the oven before serving.
