SIMPLE MEXICAN RICE

My sister-in-law who was born and raised in Mexico City taught me how to make this simple side dish. I also use a mound of this rice in a bowl of Mexican beef stew (carne guisada #80408) - so yummy.

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a non-stick sauce pan that has a tight fitting lid.
  • Add onion and pepper.
  • Saute until tender.
  • Add rice.
  • Saute rice until opaque.
  • Add vegetables, bouillon, garlic and water.
  • Bring to a boil.
  • Keep tightly covered and simmer 15- 20 minutes- do not peek.
  • Serve with chopped cilantro on top or mixed in dish.
  • Pass the salsa.
  • Note, I have used chopped fresh or frozen spinach instead of the frozen vegetables and it was very good.

1/4 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup chopped pepper (your preference, sweet or hot)
1 1/2 cups raw converted rice
1 cup frozen vegetables (such as peas, corn, chopped carrots, or a combination)
2 teaspoons chicken bouillon powder
1 tablespoon minced garlic
2 1/4 cups water
chopped cilantro (amount to your taste, either as a garnish only, or a few tbsp chopped, mixed in)
salsa, on the side

SO SIMPLE MEXICAN RICE

I love the fluffy, lightly seasoned rice I get as a side dish at my favorite Mexican cantina... This rice does not have any chunks of vegetables in it and has a very light tomato flavor. It is a very "dry" rice, unlike some that you may have tried that are very wet or gummy. I have tried to duplicate it and this is my best effort so far. This simple rice goes well with spicy Mexican main dishes since it does not compete with those bright bold flavors.
