Categories     side-dish

Time 35m

Yield 5 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 medium onion, finely chopped
1/2 red bell pepper, seeded and chopped
1/4 medium jalapeño pepper, seeded and chopped (optional)
1 garlic clove, chopped
1 1/2 cups long-grain white rice
1 cup frozen corn, thawed
1 teaspoon ground cumin
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 1/4 cups chicken stock
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1 tomato, seeded and diced

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a heavy, large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the onion, red peppers and jalapeño and cook, stirring often, until soft and translucent, about 4 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, 1 minute, being careful not to let it burn.
  • Add the rice and corn and saute 1 minute, stirring constantly to toast the rice and coat with oil. Sprinkle with the cumin and 1 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Pour in the chicken stock, raise the heat to high and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover and cook until the rice is tender, 12 to 15 minutes.
  • Fluff the rice with a fork and carefully fold in the cilantro and diced tomatoes. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste.
