Mexican Vegetable Rice Recipes

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.

Steps:

• Heat canola oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Season oil with onion powder and garlic powder. Cook and stir rice in seasoned oil until rice is golden, 2 to 4 minutes.
• Pour water and tomato sauce over the rice; stir. Bring the mixture to a boil, cover the skillet, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer until the rice is tender, about 15 minutes.

Steps:

• Cook and stir rice and oil in a skillet over medium heat until lightly toasted, about 2 minutes. Add onion and cook for 2 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
• Pour chicken broth into rice mixture and bring to a boil; stir tomato, cumin, saffron, salt, and black pepper into broth and bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer until rice is cooked, about 20 minutes.
• Stir peas and carrots into cooked rice; garnish with cilantro.

Steps:

• Heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add onion, poblano pepper, and garlic; saute for 2 to 3 minutes. Add rice. Cook, stirring occasionally, until rice is completely coated in oil, about 2 minutes. Season with paprika, cumin, oregano, salt, and pepper.
• Stir in tomato paste and cook for 1 to 2 minutes. Add vegetable broth and pinto beans. Bring to a boil; reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer until rice is tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from heat, keep covered, and let stand for at least 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork.

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:

• 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.
