AUTHENTIC MEXICAN RICE RECIPE

Steps:

• Add the rice to a pot with the olive oil and cook over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes, moving constantly until the rice is slightly browned.
• Add salt to taste and cook for about 1 more minute.
• Add the tomato, garlic, onion and oregano to a blender and blend together.
• Add the above mixture to the rice and stir well. Let cook over medium-high heat for 2-3 minutes, moving the rice constantly.
• Add the Chicken Stock and reduce the temperature to medium-low. Cover and let cook until the water evaporates (about 15-20 minutes). If the rice is not soft, add an additional cup of chicken stock or water and continue cooking until the rice is soft.

MEXICAN RICE

Steps:

• Blend vegetables, salt and stock or water together into a mostly smooth purée (a few small pieces of onion and pepper are fine).
• In a large skillet with a tightfitting lid, heat oil. Add rice and toast until it absorbs most of the oil and begins to smell nutty.
• Add blended ingredients, stir gently with a wooden spoon to prevent breaking up the rice too much and bring to a light boil. Cover, reduce heat to the lowest setting possible and cook undisturbed for 17 minutes. Let sit for another 10 minutes.
