AUTHENTIC MEXICAN RICE

Steps:

• Rinse the rice in a fine mesh strainer until the water runs clear. Set aside.

• Add tomato sauce, garlic, and diced onion to the pan. Stir. Add tomato bullion, salt, carrots, peas, and water (and serrano peppers, if using. They add a little flavor, but not spice.).
• Bring to a boil, then cover, reduce heat to low and cook for about 20 minutes or until the water is completely absorbed. Remove from heat and allow to rest for 5 minutes before fluffing with a fork.

Steps:

• Rice -- Cook the rice accordingly to pkg directions. I cook mine ahead just to save time, but it is not necessary. You can use long grain, medium, quick cooking or boil in bags. Whatever works best for you. Make it easy on yourself.
• Vegetables -- To a medium saute pan, add the olive oil and heat to medium. Then add in the garlic and onion and cook until tender. Toss in the olives, chilies, tomatoes, broth, seasoning except for the parsley; and cook on medium low until well combined. Cook 5 minutes.
• Combine -- Add the rice to the tomato and vegetable mixture just to reheat the rice and all the flavors are combined. Cook another 2-3 minutes. The last minute add the parsley.
• Serve -- Serve family style and top with the grated cheese. You can also add some extra parsley if you want as a garnish. ENJOY!
