Perfect White Rice Spanish Caribbean Style Recipes

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.

Steps:

• Place the rice in a colander and rinse it thoroughly, adding a few drops of fresh lime juice to the rinsing water (the lime juice helps take away the musty smell that rice gets from sitting in the package).
• In a saucepan, bring the water, 1 tablespoon of the lime juice, 1 tablespoon of the olive oil and salt to a boil. (To make the con conor delicately flavored crusts of rice, use a very light pan; do not use a pot with an enamel or Teflon surface.)
• Stir in the rice. Return to a boil, cover tightly and simmer over low heat for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and dry.
• Turn off the heat and let stand for a few minutes. Gently stir in 1 tablespoon olive oil. The sides and bottom of the pan will be covered with a crust of browned rice, the con con Scrape off the browned bits and serve separately.
