ARROZ A LA MEXICANA
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.

MEXICAN RICE - ARROZ A LA MEXICANA
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.

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.

AGUA DE ARROZ (MEXICAN RICE WATER)
There is a small restaurant that I like to go to whenever I have the chance. Unfortunately, since it's about three hours away, I don't get to do so very often. One of the biggest draws for me is their Agua de Arroz, which means "Rice Water" in spanish. But to call it just simple rice water does it such a disservice. It is soooo much more than that! It is a sweet, creamy dessert drink that truly "makes" the meal. I tried it on a whim the first time. I had just walked away from the counter when I took a sip. I whirled around to my sister, who was right behind me, and said, "You have GOT to try this stuff!!!". So today I went searching for a recipe for Agua de Arroz...and found this. It haven't tried this specific recipe, but I will be soon! It sounds very much like the one that I had. NOTE: After trying this...it wasn't anything like the one I was looking for. It turned out to be this gooey, gelatinous...bleah. Since I can't delete the recipe, I thought I'd warn folks. Don't waste your ingredients.

MEXICAN RICE/ ARROZ MEXICANO
This rice dish has been passed down by my great grandmother from Mexico. It is an easy recipe to make. My family loves this rice and it can be served with almost any chicken or meat dish. Best when made with homemade broth but I find canned broth does fine. When presenting at the dinner table the jalapeno in the middle looks...

Steps:
- 1. Heat oil on medium high flame, when hot add raw rice (do not rinse rice)and begin to brown. Keep Stirring constantly so rice will not burn. When rice is golden brown, add onions, garlic, and continue to stir until onions are limp.
- 2. Next add your mashed down tomatos and juice from the can of tomatos and continue stirring about half a minute. Lower the heat a little and add all the seasonings cumin, oregano, pepper, and salt. Next add your chicken broth the peas stir once more and last float the jalapeno whole in the middle of the pot. Cover with a tight lid, lower heat to medium low and cook for 35 to 45 minutes. Do not uncover until time is up. When done uncover remove jalapeno and fluff rice with a fork. Replace the jalapeno in the middle of pot and present at table. Jalapeno will not add heat to the rice provided it is not cut. Just imparts flavor and looks pretty. You may discard after cooking if you like.
ARROZ MEXICANO, FOOLPROOF MEXICAN RICE
I got this recipe from Marcela Valladolid, who hosts Mexican Made Easy on Foodnetwork. I love Mexican rice, and this is really tasty. I am posting this as it was written, but keep in mind it does make quite a bit of rice! This is really easy to tweak as long as you follow the golden rule of rice: 1 cup rice to 2 cups liquid (1 cup brown rice to 2 1/4 cups liquid). Sometimes if I'm in a hurry I will use a small can of tomato puree OR one can of diced tomatoes and chiles instead of the fresh tomatoes. But now that it is Summer and the tomatoes are so good I can't skip that step! Hope you like it!!!

When most people think of Mexican rice, they think of the typical tomato-flavored rice. When I've been in Mexico, however, I've been served this type of white rice often. This recipe is authentic Mexican and comes from Rick Bayless.

Steps:
- In small saucepan or microwave oven, heat broth or water until steaming.
- Stir in about 3/4 teaspoon salt if using salted broth, 1 1/2 teaspoons if using unsalted broth or water.
- Cover and keep warm.
- In medium (3-quart) saucepan with a tight-fitting lid, heat the oil over medium heat.
- When hot, add raw rice and onion and stir regularly until grains have turned from translucent to milky-white, 4-5 minutes.
- Add garlic and stir for a few seconds, until fragrant. Do not let grains brown.
- Add the warm liquid and lime juice, stir thoroughly, scraping down any grains that are clinging to the side of the pan.
- Cover and cook over the lowest heat for 15 minutes--temperature should be low enough that only the slightest hint of steam escapes lid.
- Remove pan from heat and let stand covered for 5 minutes.
- Uncover and test a grain of rice: if still a little hard, re-cover pan and set over low heat for about 5 min.; if rice has absorbed all liquid and is completely dry, sprinkle on 2 tablespoons water before returning to heat.
- When rice is done, sprinkle on parsley and gently fluff with fork to release steam and stop the cooking.
