How to Make Mexican Rice (2 Ways!) | AV Show 39

5/4/2017 0 Comments
 
​Learn my take on Mexican Rice with two different methods of making it. This recipe is so versatile you can make it a number of different ways, each señorita makes her own version.
The fist method demonstrated shows a more traditional method where you toast the rice first bringing a new dimension of flavor, coat each piece in seasoning, add a fresh pureed tomatoes, onion and garlic and more for a flavorful bite of rice.

Ingredients:
  • 2 Tbsp. Oil (Omit for Oil-Free)
  • 3/4 Cup Rice
  • 1/4 Cup Quinoa  = Extra Health Benefits! Traditional = 1 cup Rice; no quinoa  
  • 1 Sliced Jalapeño (or favorite veg)
  • Spices (Salt & Pepper to taste, 1-2 tsp Paprika, 1/2-1 tsp Cumin)
  • Opt pinch of: Red Pepper Flakes + Oregano 
  • 3 Roma Tomatoes (or equal amount)
  • 1/2 Small Onion
  • 2-3 Cloves Garlic
  • Vegetable Broth (1 Cup + Extra to Blend)
Optional:
  • Small Bundle Cilantro - Roughly Chopped
  • 1 Green Onion - Diced
  • 1 Lime - Squeezed

Peaceful Preparation:
  1. ​Heat pot or pan over medium-high heat, add 2 Tbsp. Vegetable Oil, omit for oil-free or use the recipe below. 
  2. Add rice & quinoa if using both, or just rice, toast for 8-10 minutes or until golden brown, moving it around constantly to avoid burning. 
  3. 10 min later, add any veggies, it was time to go to the market so I used a jalapeño, feel free to use carrots, peas, bell peppers, onions etc. Allow vegetables to cook as desired and then add the spices, coating each and every piece of rice. 
  4. Blend tomato, onion and garlic + splash of water or vegetable broth and add tomato puree + vegetable broth. Give it a gentle stir, test and adjust if needed.
  5. ​Bring to a roaring boil, reduce heat to low, cover and cook for 15-20 minutes, I go for 20 minutes. 
  6. Fluff, cover, set aside 10 minutes.
  7. Serve as is or opt to add the juice of one lime, chopped green onion and cilantro, enjoy!!!

The second method is done ever so easily in a rice cooker. This method is great for pressing a button and carrying on with life then returning to a hot flavorful dish. Both recipes are so good you can serve them as a side dish, in your burritos, we like to make a big batch and then use it throughout the week. If you are cutting back on soy products this is also a great alternative as no soy is needed yet it is packed with flavor. See how to make both on YouTube!
