ARROZ A LA MEXICANA



Arroz a la Mexicana image

Our recipe for Arroz a la Mexicana lets you make authentic Mexican rice at home. We purée the onion, jalapeno, and garlic, so the flavor gets infused into the rice. Sauteing the rice in Country Crock® before simmering helps it cook up separate and fluffy and gives this dish a flavor boost.

Categories     side-dish

Time 1h

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 cups long-grain rice, such as Carolina
1/4 cup schmaltz, rendered lard or vegetable oil
3 cloves garlic, finely grated
3 medium carrots, finely chopped
1/2 medium white onion, chopped
Kosher salt
3 tablespoons tomato paste
4 cups homemade chicken stock or low-sodium chicken broth
1/3 cup frozen green peas, thawed
1 serrano chile, halved lengthwise (seeded if you prefer mild heat)

Steps:

  • Heat a large skillet over high heat. Add the dry, unwashed rice, tossing or stirring constantly, until toasted and very brown and nutty, about 8 to 12 minutes. Transfer to a heatproof bowl.
  • Place a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat. Add the schmaltz, garlic, carrots, onions and 5 teaspoons salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender and just beginning to brown, 6 to 8 minutes. Add the tomato paste and cook, stirring and scraping the bottom of the skillet, until fragrant and brick red colored, about 1 minute. Add the stock and bring to a boil. Stir in the rice, top with the peas and chile, reduce the heat to low, cover and cook undisturbed for 20 minutes. Check to see if all the liquid has been absorbed; if not, continue to cook and check again after 10 more minutes. Once the liquid has been absorbed, remove from the heat and let sit, covered, for 10 minutes before serving.

MEXICAN RICE - ARROZ A LA MEXICANA



Mexican Rice - Arroz a La Mexicana image

This is from Diana Kennedy's book, "From My Mexican Kitchen". I usually have varying results when I make rice but this recipe made it come out perfectly. It is tender like my dad likes it and sprinkled with a touch of carrots and peas like my Nana used to make. It can be prepared several hours ahead and then reheated. Leftovers can be frozen for a couple of weeks without losing flavor. Do not thaw before reheating; put the frozen rice directly into the pan so you do not lose the flavor in the melting juices.

Categories     Long Grain Rice

Time 1h

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/2 cups long-grain white rice
1/4-1/3 cup vegetable oil
8 ounces tomatoes, roughly chopped (about 1 1/2 cups)
1 tablespoon roughly chopped white onion
1 garlic clove, roughly chopped
3 1/2 cups chicken broth
1 small carrot, trimmed, scraped, and thinly sliced (optional)
2 tablespoons peas (optional)
1 sprig parsley (optional)
2 serrano chilies, left whole (optional)
salt, to taste

Steps:

  • For this quantity of rice you will need a flameproof pan about 4 inches (10 cm) deep and 9 inches (23 cm) across. Pour hot water to cover over the rice and let soak for about 5 minutes. Strain, rinse in cold water, and strain again. Be sure to shake the strainer well to remove the excess water. Do not do this step ahead of time or the rice will become too damp.
  • Heat the oil in the pan and stir in the rice - it should sizzle as it touches the oil. Stir until the grains are evenly coated and continue frying over medium heat until they sound brittle and are just starting to turn golden, about 10 minutes. Tip the pan to one side and drain off the excess oil.
  • Meanwhile, put the tomatoes, onion, and garlic into a blender jar and blend until smooth. Stir the puree into the rice and continue frying over fairly high heat, scraping the bottom of the pan to avoid sticking, until the mixture has been absorbed, about 5 minutes.
  • Add the broth and the optional ingredients; stir the rice well, adjust the salt, cover the pan, and cook over medium heat until all the broth has been absorbed - air holes will probably form. Carefully dig to the bottom of the rice with a fork to see if any moisture remains; if so, then continue cooking over low heat for a few minutes more. Set aside, still `covered, to give the rice a chance to continue steaming evenly for about 15 minutes.
  • When serving, gently stir the rice from the bottom with a fork.

ARROZ MEXICANA (MEXICAN RICE)



Arroz Mexicana (Mexican Rice) image

This is a really good Mexican rice recipe. I thought my kids would never want anything but the "Spanish Rice" that comes in a box, but as they grew their tastes matured too, thank goodness! I like to use fresh raw peas and corn kernels when possible. Try this, I think you'll like it! UPDATE: Thanks to my Zaar friends Rita and Paula, I've edited my mistake in the amount of broth originally posted to 3 1/2 cups.
