Spanish Yellow Rice Recipes

Steps:

• Heat oil in a medium saucepan on medium-high heat.
• Add the shallots and garlic and cook until they start to brown, around 2-3 minutes.
• Add rice, broth, tumeric, and salt. Add frozen peas; I usually add enough to cover the surface of the broth (you can gauge this by adding them little by litte, they usually float to the top). Bring to a boil; this may take a few minutes.
• Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until tender and liquid is absorbed, this takes anywhere from 15 to 20 minutes depending on tastes and your stove!
• Sprinkle with fresh cilantro for a little extra flavor.

Steps:

• Cook rice in oil or butter, stirring, until opaque.
• Add salt, saffron and bouillon.
• Bring to a boil, immediately turn heat to low, cover, and simmer 16-20 minutes, until rice is tender. (If after 16-18 minutes you find more liquid is needed, add water as necessary, up to 1 cup maximum).

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a medium saucepan, with a tight-fitting lid, over medium-high heat. Add the onion, pepper, and annatto, and cook, stirring, until somewhat soft, about 2 minutes. Add the rice and cook, stirring, until toasted, about 2 minutes more. Add water, salt, and bay leaf and bring to a boil. Wrap the lid tightly with a kitchen towel. Cover the rice, lower the heat to a simmer, cook for 20 minutes.
• Remove the rice from the heat and set aside, covered, for 10 minutes. Remove the lid and fluff the rice with a fork. Serve with the black beans.
• Put the beans in a large saucepan, add the water and bay leaf, and bring to a boil. Set aside, covered, for 1 hour.
• Return the beans to a boil, lower the heat to a simmer, cook uncovered, for 1 1/2 hours.
• Heat the oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion and peppers and cook, stirring, until soft, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic, cumin, oregano, and coriander and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute more. Add the onion mixture to the beans and continue simmering until the beans are very tender and the liquid has thickened, about 1 1/2 hours more.
• If the beans seem too thick, adjust the consistency with a little bit of water. Stir in the vinegar, season with the salt, cayenne, and pepper to taste. Serve.
• Yield: about 4 side dish servings

Steps:

• Heat oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook and stir onion, carrot, broccoli, red bell pepper, and garlic in hot oil until garlic just begins to brown, about 5 minutes.
• Pour vegetable broth into the saucepan; add rice, sazon seasoning, and adobo seasoning and stir. Bring the liquid to a boil, reduce heat to low, and cook until the liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender, about 25 minutes. Fluff rice with a fork to serve.

Steps:

• Combine onion, olive oil, and garlic in a large pot over medium heat. Cook and stir for 2 minutes. Add chicken breasts; cook until lightly browned, about 2 minutes per side. Pour in water; bring to a boil.
• Pour yellow rice into the boiling water. Cover and simmer over medium heat until chicken and rice are tender, about 20 minutes. Sprinkle frozen peas on top; cook until thawed, about 2 minutes. Mix up rice.

Steps:

• Place the rice in a heat-proof bowl and pour enough boiling water to cover. Let rice stand 20 minutes. Drain, then rinse under cool water. Drain again.
• Heat the oil in a saucepan on medium heat. Add the achiote powder and cook for about 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly.
• Add the minced onion and garlic and cook for another 2-3 minutes or until the onion is translucent.
• Stir in the rice, toss to coat and cook for 5 minutes, stirring constantly. (The rice will want to stick to the bottom of the pan, so scrape it up using a metal spatula.).
• Pour in the broth, mix well and bring rice to a boil.
• Lower the heat, cover the pan and simmer 25-30 minutes or until all liquid is absorbed.
• Just before serving, add the minced jalapeno if using, season to taste with salt. Transfer the rice to a serving dish and garnish with fresh cilantro leaves.

Steps:

• Add the oil to a medium saucepan and heat over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the onions, turmeric, coriander, cumin, garlic powder and 1 teaspoon salt and reduce the heat to medium. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are softened and the spices are toasted, 3 to 4 minutes.
• Add the rice and stir until the grains are completely incorporated into the onion mixture. Add the broth and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to low, cover tightly and simmer for 15 minutes.
• Remove the pot from the heat and let sit, covered, for 10 minutes more; the rice will continue to steam. Uncover the pot. All the broth should be absorbed and the onions will be on top. Fluff the rice with a fork before serving.

Steps:

• Season chicken with 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
