MEXICAN FLAG RICE



Mexican Flag Rice image

This is really three recipes in one (previously posted recipes #493474,#493473,and #493472).Three bands of rice-red,white,and green-are arranged to mimic the colors of the Mexican flag.This makes a good dish for serving a crowd as everyone can choose their favorite flavor or try one of each.Very pretty and good to serve on Mexico's Independence Day(El Dia de Independencia,September 16) or Cinco de Mayo.The original recipe is from Frida's Fiesta.It may be easier for you to saute the rice seperately in 3 batches,if you prefer.That way you can concentrate on each batch at a time.You would use 1 cup of rice in about 2-3 tablespoons of oil for each batch,and dividing the onion and garlic among each pot.I like to save time by sauteeing it all at once.It helps to have the 3 smaller pots with a little extra oil already hot when you are ready to add the purees,but this does take a little multitasking at the stove.Don't sweat it,take your time the first time you make it and wait until you've completed each batch before heating each pot with a little oil in it.You can always make the rice earlier in the day and reheat right before serving.
