Mexican Rice With Vegetables Recipes

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a saucepan and sizzle the onion for 5 mins until just starting to soften. Add the garlic and cook for a minute more, then stir in the chipotle paste (if using) and the tomato purée and cook for a minute.
• Add the tomatoes and simmer for a few minutes, then scatter the rice into the pan and stir, so it's coated in the tomato mix. Pour over the hot stock, season, give everything another stir and bring to the boil, then cover the pan with a lid and turn the heat down to the lowest possible setting.
• Gently simmer for 15-20 mins until all the stock has been absorbed and the rice is cooked through. Leave the rice to sit for a few mins off the heat, then stir through the coriander and serve.

Steps:

• In a large nonstick frying pan or a dutch oven put the oil and onion.
• Stir-fry over medium heat for 5 minutes.
• Move the onion to the side of the pan and add the garlic.
• Stir-fry the garlic until the edges are just starting to brown, and then incorporate the garlic into the onion.
• Add the minced green chili and the green bell pepper and stir-fry for 3 more minutes.
• Add the rice and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes, until all of the rice grains have gotten covered with the oil and the rice has had a chance to fry a bit.
• Add the tomato, corn and the carrot, cumin and oregano.
• Stir-fry for one more minute.
• Add the chicken broth (or vegetable broth or water).
• Bring the mixture to a good boil, cover, reduce heat to very low and cook for 20 minutes.
• Remove from heat and let the rice rest, covered, for a few minutes.
• Stir in the peas and salt.
• Check for salt and then garnish with cilantro.
• You may eliminate any of the vegetables that you don't like.

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, heat vegetable oil over a medium-low heat. Place the onions in the pan, and saute until golden.
• Add rice to pan, and stir to coat grains with oil. Mix in green bell pepper, cumin, chili powder, tomato sauce, salt, garlic, saffron, and water. Cover, bring to a boil, and then reduce heat to simmer. Cook for 30 to 40 minutes, or until rice is tender. Stir occasionally.
