This is an authentic Mexican rice dish from Jim Peyton, and despite it's somewhat odd sounding ingredients, it is fantastic!!! Great with any meat dish. I sometimes make this for myself for dinner, with nothing but the rice and a glass of white wine to enjoy with it. Leftovers heat up well, too.

- When the butter is melted, add the rice and saute until it just begins to brown (3 minutes).
- Add the onion and garlic and cook another minute, stirring.
- Add the contents of the blender, stir well, bring the mixture to a boil, then put the lid on and turn the heat to low.
- Allow to cook at least 20 minutes.

- Turn off the heat and let the rice steam, covered, for about 10 minutes before serving.
