Yellow Rice With Corn Recipes

YELLOW RICE WITH CORN

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil over medium-high heat in a large pot. Add the onions and cook for 2-3 minutes.
• Stir in the garlic and cook until fragrant. Add the sazon, tomato sauce, bay leaf, cumin, oregano, vino seco, salt, and corn. Cook for 1 minute.
• Add the rice and cook for 1 minute. Add the water and let it come to a boil. Once it comes to a boil, cover, reduce the heat to medium-low and cook for 20 minutes or until the rice is fully cooked through.

BLACK BEANS, CORN, AND YELLOW RICE

Steps:

• Bring the rice, water, and olive oil to a boil in a saucepan over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the rice is tender, and the liquid has been absorbed, 20 to 25 minutes.
• Mix together the beans, corn, lime juice, and cumin in a large bowl. Stir in the cooked rice and serve.

YELLOW RICE

Steps:

• While you are sautéing all the vegetables, bring the chicken broth to a boil in a small saucepan and keep it hot and ready to be added to the rice.
• In a large skillet or a medium pot, heat the olive oil on medium high heat. Add the onion, season with salt and pepper and cook for 3-5 minutes, until it is tender and translucent.
• Add the chopped peppers, season with salt and pepper and cook for another 2-3 minutes. For the jalapeño, I like to charr it in the oven first, peel off the skin, remove the seeds and then finely chop it. You can simply chop up the jalapeño without charring it first. Also, you can use as much or as little of the green and red peppers as you like. I usually use one small bell pepper and only ¼-1/2 of a green pepper.
• Add the chopped tomatoes and garlic to the skillet and cook for 2-3 more minutes.
• Add the tomato paste and the turmeric. The turmeric is what will give the rice it's gorgeous yellow color, so don't omit it, or you will not have yellow rice, you will have regular rice pilaf with vegetables. Mix to combine and cook for about a minute.
• Add the rice to the skillet, increase the heat to high and cook the rice for about 2 minutes, making sure to mix the the whole time and get it coated and throughly mixed with all the other ingredients in the skillet.
• Add the dry bay leaf to the skillet. Pour in the boiling chicken broth, the rice should come to a boil right away. Decrease the heat to low, and cook, covered, for 15 minutes.
• Fluff the rice with a fork, discard the bay leaf and garnish the rice with fresh herbs.

ARROZ AMARILLO CON MAíZ (YELLOW RICE WITH CORN)

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• In a medium saucepan with a tight-fitting lid, heat the oil or annatto/achiote oil over medium heat until it shimmers.
• Add the sofrito and sauté lightly until fragrant, about 1 to 2 minutes.
• Add the sazón packet (if not using annatto oil), Spanish Manzanilla olives, bay leaf, salt, and pepper. Stir the mixture to combine the ingredients.
• When the mixture starts to bubble, add the corn kernels and rice. Thoroughly stir the mixture again to coat the rice and corn with color.
• Slowly pour in the water (or chicken stock ), while stirring. Bring the ingredients to a rolling boil over high heat.
• Allow it to boil undisturbed for 1 to 2 minutes, then stir the rice mixture again.
• Reduce the heat to low and cover with the lid. Continue to cook over low heat for 20 minutes.
• Remove the lid and fluff the rice.
• Then cover again, remove from the heat, and let it sit about 5 minutes more. Remove and discard the bay leaf and serve.

YELLOW RICE WITH CORN

Steps:

• Heat the Achiote Oil in a Dutch oven or other heavy 4 to 5-quart pot with a tight fitting lid over medium-high heat. Stir in the Sofrito and alcaparrado and cook until the liquid is evaporated and the Sofrito is sizzling. Season with the salt, pepper, and cumin. Toss in the bay leaves.
• Raise the heat to high and add the rice and corn. Cook, stirring, until the rice is coated with the oil and the grains begin to turn "chalky," about 3 minutes. Pour in enough chicken broth to cover the rice by 1-inch. Bring to a boil and cook until the level of the broth meets the level of the rice. Lower the heat to very low, stir the rice thoroughly but only once, and cover. Cook until the rice is tender but with a little bite and all the liquid is absorbed, about 20 minutes. Fluff with a fork before serving.
• Heat the oil and achiote seeds over medium heat just until the seeds give off a lively, steady sizzle. Don't overheat the mixture or the seeds will turn black and the oil a nasty green. Once they're sizzling away, pull the pan from the heat and let stand until the sizzling stops. Strain as much of the oil as you are going to use right into the pan; store the remaining oil for up to 2 days at room temperature in a jar with a tight fitting lid.
• Place the onion and cubanelle or Italian peppers in the work bowl of a food processor and pulse until coarsely chopped. With the motor running, add the remaining ingredients, 1 at a time, and process until smooth. The sofrito will keep in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. It also freezes beautifully.

YELLOW RICE WITH CORN

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.

LONG GRAIN WHITE RICE WITH CORN, PEPPERS AND ONIONS

Steps:

• If using fresh corn: After removing the husks and silk, cut the kernels from the cobs using a sharp knife (being careful not to cut into the cob itself). Place the kernels into a bowl and using the knife, scrape up and down the shaft of the cob (over the bowl of corn) extracting the natural "corn cream". If using canned or frozen corn, simply begin with step #2.
• To saute the vegetables: Melt the butter (or heat the oil) in a 2 1/2 quart heavy bottomed sauce pot (one that comes with a tight fitting lid). When hot, add the onions and garlic and saute for 3 minutes. Add the green pepper and saute until all the vegetables are softened and very fragrant, about 5 minutes over meduimlow heat.
• To toast the rice: If using an "aromatic" rice, rinse it through a sieve (medium mesh) and drain well (see note). Add the rice and cook over medium heat, stirring to coat the rice with the butter and vegetables. Cook for about 3 minutes or until the rice is dry and beginning to turn golden.
• To simmer (see note): Add the hot broth and return to a boil. Stir in the corn (whether fresh, drained canned or frozen), and bring back to a boil. Cover the pot and turn the heat to low. Simmer over a low flame for exactly 17 minutes without lifting the lid.
• To "settle" and serve: Uncover and add a good amount of fresh pepper and some salt to taste. If desired, stir in 1 tablespoon of additional butter or margarine. Fluff with a fork, and cover the pot. Allow the rice to settle for 3 to 5 minutes to absorb any excess moisture. Serve hot.
• Time Management Tips:
• 1) For extra ease of preparation when assembling, all listed fresh vegetables can be chopped as much as one day ahead and kept refrigerated in separate (well covered) bowls.
• 2) The stock can be made months ahead and kept frozen in securely covered, heavy freezer containers.
• "Variation" Tips:
• 1) Changing the type of stock can give your rice dish a totally different taste and (at times) color. Choose your stock according to your menu and don't be afraid to mix different types of stock,vegetables (and herbs) to create an even more complex flavor. Also, always thaw more stock than you'll need so you can boil it down until the volume is reduced (which will concentrate the flavor).
• Some winning combinations of stock: Beef and chicken, chicken and shrimp, veal and beef, veal and chicken or chicken and fish.
• Tips From a Teacher:
• The most renown type of aromatic rice is Basmati rice which (once grown only in Pakistan and India), is now also grown here in the United States. This type of rice is special (although pricey) not only for it's nutty, butterlike and seductive flavor, but during cooking, the grains swell much more in length than in width, making the feel of the cooked rice more distinctive in the mouth. Basmati rice is also lower in starch which encourages the grains to remain separate.
• Jasmine rice, another long grain white rice once grown exclusively in Thailand, is now also grown here and the flavor is similar to Basmati although the texture is somewhat softer when cooked. The other readilyavailable types of aromatic rice are grown here and come in both white, tan and brown varieties. All of the new domestic breeds of rice are an attempt to duplicate the flavor and aroma of Basmati, at a more affordable price. They can be identified as Texmati, Wehani and Popcorn rice (also called Wild Pecan rice). These are all delicious and lend their own unique characteristics to the finished dish.
