Yellow Rice With Corn image

A popular recipe among my family, I make it a lot. It's become my favorite side dish to serve with Sue L's recipe #36634. But this rice is delicious with any kind of meat and veggies. The Goya seasoning will be found in the international or hispanic isle of your local supermarket, it's a small orange box that reads "Sazon Goya con culantro y achiote", it adds flavor and color.

Time 40m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 cups long-grain rice
1 (15 ounce) can sweet whole kernel corn, drained
3 1/2-4 cups water
1 (1 ounce) envelope goya seasoning (con Achiote)
1 tablespoon salt, to taste
3 tablespoons vegetable oil

Steps:

  • In a medium-large pot over maximum heat, heat the oil. Add the entire can of corn, being careful with any oil splatters. Add all the contents from 1 envelope of the seasoning; stir. Allow it to cook for 1 minute.
  • Add the rice and stir until evenly coated with the color from the seasoning. Add the water and salt and bring to a boil. When it comes to a boil, cover the pot with its lid and turn the heat to its lowest.
  • Allow it to cook covered for 15 minutes Do not open the lid, letting the steam escape will delay the cooking time and may even undercook the rice.
  • Carefully uncover after 15 mins and you'll see most of the corn will be on top, give it a good stir from bottom to top. Cover again and let it cook for 15 more minutes Turn off, serve and enjoy.
  • Tip: If I have an open can of achiote chiles in adobo sauce, I put a tspn of adobo sauce in the seasoning as well. It makes it a bit spicy.
