PERFECT SPANISH RICE



Perfect Spanish Rice image

You don't need to visit an authentic taqueria when using this recipe. You might even like it better than a restaurant's Spanish rice....I know I do. I was taught how to make this dish from my mother-in-law, a native of Guadalajara Mexico. The rice is moist and full of flavor and you can add cooked and shredded chicken and/or peas for a complete 1-dish meal. Great for potlucks, dinner parties and side dishes to your favorite Mexican meal. This recipe is relatively simple to make and inexpensive. Try it and impress YOUR Mexican mother-in-law :)

Categories     White Rice

Time 50m

Yield 4 cups, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 cup white rice (I like to use pearl)
14 1/2 ounces diced tomatoes (I like Contadina's brand with Italian herbs)
1 small onion, diced
4 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 cup olive oil
2 teaspoons chicken bouillon
2 tablespoons green onions, chopped (optional)

Steps:

  • In a medium skillet or frying pan, heat your oil and add onion.
  • Once the onion starts to brown on the edges add the garlic.
  • Stir with a wooden spoon for a few minutes and add the dry rice to the onions and garlic. Stir rice frequently till the rice takes on a golden-orange color. Be careful not to burn the onions and garlic. If your bulbs look like they are starting to get over done immediately add the canned tomatoes.
  • While waiting for the rice to brown get a medium sized cooking pot (must have lid or cover). Open the canned tomatoes and with clean cooking shears cut the tomatoes (in the can) till they are in small pieces.
  • Pour the can of cut tomatoes in the pot with 1 can's worth of water.
  • Toss in the chicken bouillon and you are now ready for the rice.
  • Once your rice has developed a good color, transfer everything from the frying pan to the pot.
  • Cover and bring to a hard boil.
  • Once boiling reduce heat to a soft simmer for 15-20 minutes.
  • After most of the liquid has been absorbed stir the rice and remove from heat.
  • Allow rice to steam in the pot for 10-15 minutes. Add the green onion, stir then serve and enjoy.

Time 25m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/2 cups long grain white rice
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/4 cup onion, finely diced
4 ounces el pato salsa fresca (or tomato sauce if you cant find el pato sauce)
2 1/2 cups chicken broth
1 teaspoon cumin
1 tablespoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
pepper

Steps:

  • in a bowl combine broth, cumin, chili powder, salt & half a can of el pato sauce (if you can't find el pato use regular tomato sauce).
  • brown rice, in hot oil, in a large skillet for approximately 5 minutes flipping occasionally.
  • add diced onion, minced garlic, sauté for 1 minute.
  • add seasoned broth, bring to a boil.
  • reduce heat to low, cover and simmer for 15 minutes. do not check on the rice before the 15 minutes is up, this will allow steam to escape and may make your rice turn out undercooked.
  • most of the water will absorb before the 15 minute time limit but keep covered and continue to steam for the entire 15 minutes. this will make for perfect rice that isnt crunchy.
  • after 15 minutes turn heat off, uncover & flip rice over. recover & let sit until everything else is ready. you can let the rice sit covered for up to 25 minutes which will cook out most of the moisture & leave perfect fluffy rice.

My family loves a variety of ethnic foods, but this is one of their favorites. My niece, who is of Spanish descent, lives with us and has tweaked my old Spanish rice recipe to make it just like her grandma's. My mother-in-law has also added this recipe to her school meals menu (minus the jalapeno), and it is a hit with the students and faculty.
