Provided by Lauren Allen

Categories     Side Dish

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/2 cups long grain white rice (*)
1/4 cup oil ((vegetable or canola oil))
1 teaspoon garlic (, minced)
1/4 medium onion (, finely diced)
1/4 cup tomato sauce (, or 2 pureed tomatoes*)
2 teaspoons tomato bouillon (granulated, or cubes*)
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 carrot (, diced)
1/2 cup peas ((frozen or fresh))
3 cups water
1-3 whole serrano peppers (, optional)

Steps:

  • Rinse the rice in a fine mesh strainer until the water runs clear. Set aside.
  • In a large saucepan over medium-high heat, add the oil. Once hot, add the rice and stir to combine. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the rice is lightly golden brown all over (about 10 minutes).
  • Add tomato sauce, garlic, and diced onion to the pan. Stir. Add tomato bullion, salt, carrots, peas, and water (and serrano peppers, if using. They add a little flavor, but not spice.).
  • Bring to a boil, then cover, reduce heat to low and cook for about 20 minutes or until the water is completely absorbed. Remove from heat and allow to rest for 5 minutes before fluffing with a fork.

MEXICAN RICE



Mexican Rice image

Provided by Food Network

Categories     side-dish

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/2 cups unconverted long grain rice
8 ounces tomatoes, roughly chopped with the skin on
1/2 small onion, finely chopped
1 clove garlic, coarsely chopped
1/3 cup vegetable oil, chicken fat, or lard
3 1/2 cups light chicken broth
1/2 medium carrot, cut into 1/4 inch dice
1/2 zucchini, cut into 3/8 inch dice
1/2 cup chopped poultry hearts and gizzards (optional)
3/4 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, combine the rice with enough very hot tap water to cover. Stir and let sit for about 10 minutes. Drain, rinse in cold water, and drain again, shaking thoroughly. In a blender, combine the tomatoes, onion, and garlic and blend until smooth, scraping down the sides of the container as necessary. Set aside.
  • In a large heavy saucepan, heat the oil over medium high heat. Add the rice and cook, stirring occasionally, until the rice turns a light golden color, about 10 minutes. Do not let it scorch. Add the tomato puree and fry, scraping the bottom of the pan to stop the mixture from sticking, for 6 to 8 minutes, or until all the liquid has been absorbed. Add the chicken broth, carrots, zucchini, and giblets, if using. Stir in the salt and reduce the heat to medium low. Cook the rice uncovered and undisturbed until almost all of the broth has evaporated and little air holes form in the surface. Cover the top of the pan with a towel and the lid, reduce the heat to very low, and cook for 5 minutes more. Remove the pan from the heat and let rest for 10 minutes more, so that the rice can absorb the steam and swell. Just before serving, turn the rice over from the bottom so that the juices are redistributed.

MEXICAN RICE



Mexican Rice image

Blending all the ingredients allows room for great variation in vegetables. Jalapeños or other chilies can be added for heat and character. Water can take the place of chicken stock for vegetarians. Canned tomatoes offer a deep flavor, but it is a good way to use up fresh tomatoes that are on the brink, as well.

Time 40m

Yield 4 cups

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 large clove garlic, roughly chopped
2 cups canned tomatoes (fresh tomatoes can be used)
1/2 cup green bell pepper, roughly chopped
1 medium onion, roughly chopped
1/2 medium jalapeño, seeds and veins removed
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup chicken stock or water
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 heaping cup long-grain white rice, rinsed

Steps:

  • Blend vegetables, salt and stock or water together into a mostly smooth purée (a few small pieces of onion and pepper are fine).
  • In a large skillet with a tightfitting lid, heat oil. Add rice and toast until it absorbs most of the oil and begins to smell nutty.
  • Add blended ingredients, stir gently with a wooden spoon to prevent breaking up the rice too much and bring to a light boil. Cover, reduce heat to the lowest setting possible and cook undisturbed for 17 minutes. Let sit for another 10 minutes.
