Para Morirse Para Mexican Rice With My Twist Recipes

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.

Steps:

• In a bowl, combine the bouillon, salt, garlic powder and cumin. Store in an airtight container in a cool, dry place for up to 1 year. Yield: about 5 tablespoons., To prepare rice: In a saucepan, saute rice, onion and green pepper in butter until rice is lightly browned. Stir in water and 5 teaspoons seasoning mix. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 15 minutes or until rice is tender.

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!
