Arroz Borracho Recipes

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, sprinkle salt and pepper on the chicken pieces, then pour the rum and lime juice over and set aside.
• Add olive oil to large paella pan and heat over a medium fire. Then, add onions, green peppers, and red peppers. Saute until tender. Then, add garlic and then the crushed tomatoes. This should simmer for at least 3 minutes.
• Next, add the drunk chicken followed by the marinade. Let simmer. Add chicken broth, the saffron, and then the rice. Bring all of this to a boil, cover with foil, and place in a preheated 350-degree oven for 25 minutes or until rice has absorbed the liquid but is still slightly wet.
• Garnish with peas, pimientos, and parsley and serve.

Steps:

• Stir 2 tablespoons salt into 3 quarts warm water in a large bowl until dissolved. Add the beans, cover with plastic and let sit at room temperature for 8 hours and up to 24. Drain and set aside until ready to use.
• Heat a large Dutch oven or large heavy pot over medium heat. Add the bacon and cook, stirring occasionally, until the fat has rendered and the bacon is crispy and deep golden brown, 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer the bacon with a slotted spoon to a small bowl, leaving as much fat in the pot as possible.
• Add the chiles, garlic, onions and 4 teaspoons salt to the pot and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender and just beginning to brown, 10 to 12 minutes. Add the tomatoes and cook, stirring occasionally, until the liquid has almost completely evaporated, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the beans, lager, bacon, and 10 cups cold water to the pot and simmer uncovered, stirring and skimming occasionally, adding more boiling water if needed, until the beans are tender, 45 to 75 minutes.
• Remove the beans from the heat and stir in the cilantro. Let the beans sit for 10 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• In a fine-mesh sieve, rinse the rice until the water runs clear, then set aside to drain.
• In a medium saucepan or pot, heat the oil over medium. Add the onion and garlic, and cook, stirring frequently, until softened and fragrant, about 5 to 7 minutes. Take care not to burn the garlic by reducing the heat slightly if necessary.
• Add the rice and sprinkle it with the salt and turmeric. Stir to combine, then cook the rice and spices in the oil for about 1 minute. Add the water, bring to a lively boil over high heat and then immediately cover and reduce the heat to low. Cook for about 15 minutes, until the water has been absorbed. Turn off the heat and allow the rice to continue steaming, covered, for another 10 minutes.
• Gently fluff with a fork or a slotted spatula, taking care not to break too many grains. Garnish with the cilantro, if using, and serve.
