Mexican Rice Recipe
Tagged in Vegetarian
Directions
Wash rice (1 or 2 cups) in pot until water runs clear.
Drain on paper towel. Saute rice in olive oil until golden.
Add remaining ingredients. Season with salt and black
pepper to taste. Bring to boil, cover, cook over medium
high heat, adding more liquid if necessary. Cook rice 20
minutes. Or bake in 350 oven until done. DO NOT STIR.
Mexican rice is not good with tomato sauce or paste. The
delicate flavors of olive oil, comino, and garlic are
overwhelmed with too much tomato. Use only fresh tomato.
Stirring makes rice mushy. Left-over rice is even better
next day.
