MEXICAN-STYLE RICE (SOPA SECA)
"Sopa seca" literally translates to "dry soup". A friend of ours from Mexico served this delicious rice sidedish to us and I enthusiastically went about finding a recipe for it. This is from the cookbook Mexican: Healthy Ways With a Favourite Cuisine by Jane Milton. A more glutinous rice dish than the ever popular Spanish rice. Is this an authentic Mexican recipe? I don't know, but I do know we like this dish!

Steps:
- In a large heatproof bowl, pour boiling water over the rice enough to cover. Stir only once, and let stand 10 minutes.
- Transfer to a colander over the sink and rinse rice under cold water. Drain again. Set rice aside, spread out on a cookie sheet to dry slightly. (I usually do this first thing in the morning.).
- In the meantime, put the tomatoes, onion, garlic and half of chili pepper into a food processor or blender. Process until smooth like salsa. Set tomato mixture aside.
- Heat the olive oil over medium heat in a large, heavy saute pan and cook rice until a light golden brown color. Stir constantly so that rice does not burn, scraping bottom of pan with spatula because the rice grains will stick.
- Next add the pureed tomato mixture and keep stirring over medium heat until all the liquid is absorbed, about 10 minutes. If mixture starts to boil, reduce heat. *Stir in the stock, salt, and green peas. Continue to cook the mixture on low-medium heat stirring occasionally until all liquid is absorbed and rice is tender, another 10-15 minutes. Be careful not to burn.
- *NOTE: DO NOT stir rice too often after adding the stock or the grains will become too starchy.
- The original directions say to remove pan from heat, cover with tight-fitting lid; letting stand in a warm place 10 minutes or so. I remove pan from heat, cover and place pan in low oven, at approximately 150-200 degrees. Sometimes I'll let the rice set in the oven for a good hour or longer, as long as the rice grains are tender and rice doesn't dry out too much.
- Transfer the cooked rice to a serving platter, fluff with fork and serve sprinkled with freshly ground black pepper. Garnish with thinly sliced chilis or serve on side.

SOPA SECA
Pasta. That's not Mexican, right? Think again. You see it in homes throughout Mexico, one of the many foreign foods that we have welcomed into our cuisine and something I ate growing up. We call this Mexican comfort food, funnily enough, sopa seca, which means "dry soup."

Steps:
- Heat the oil in a Dutch oven or medium pot over medium-high heat until it ripples. Add the pasta and cook, stirring constantly, until the pasta is golden, about 3 minutes.
- Scoop out and discard 2 tablespoons of the oil. Add the Roasted Tomato-Chile Arbol Salsa and cook for 2 minutes, stirring the whole time. Pour in the chicken stock and let the liquid come to a simmer. Cover the pot and cook, stirring once in a while, until the liquid is absorbed and the pasta is tender, about 20 minutes.
- Divide the pasta between two bowls and garnish with the cilantro and cheese.
SHRIMP SOPA SECA
This recipe calls for roasting and charring the tomatoes in a broiler - just before blending and pulsing it to a tomato sauce - yielding an incredibly fresh, flavorful and clean taste of summer's last tomatoes. The sauce is then cooked with ancho chili, chili powder and ground coriander, giving the sauce a spice, which pairs beautifully with nicely golden fideos and gently poached shrimp. Enjoy this dish with a drizzle of crema or a dollop of sour cream, crumbled cotija cheese and a slice of avocado for a nice garnish.

Steps:
- Preheat the broiler. Toss the tomatoes, white onion, garlic and 1 tablespoon olive oil on a baking sheet; spread out evenly. Broil until the onion and garlic are slightly charred and softened, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer the onion and garlic to a blender and flip over the tomatoes on the baking sheet. Continue broiling the tomatoes until the skins shrink and char, 5 to 7 more minutes.
- Add the tomatoes to the blender, along with any juices left on the baking sheet; process until chunky but well combined. Add the cilantro and puree. Season with salt and pepper.
- Heat a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil, then add the fideos. Cook, stirring, until golden, 5 to 7 minutes; remove to a plate. Reserve the pot.
- Pour the blended tomato sauce into the pot. Bring to a boil, then simmer over medium-low heat until slightly reduced, 5 to 8 minutes. Stir in the ancho chile powder, coriander, chili powder and 2 1/2 cups water. Bring to a boil.
- Return the fideos to the pot. Adjust the heat so the liquid simmers; cook, stirring, until the fideos are almost al dente, 13 to 15 minutes. Add the shrimp, cover and cook until the fideos and shrimp are cooked through, 5 to 7 more minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Divide among bowls. Top with crema and cilantro.

- Place chopped tomatoes, onion, garlic, and chipotle pepper into your blender, then add 1 cup of the chicken broth and process until you have a medium-fine sauce. Set aside.
- Heat oil in a medium-size skillet and then add the noodles. Fry until lightly browned, stirring often to avoid burning the noodles. This step will take about 2-3 minutes. Remove noodles from skillet.
- Add to the skillet the tomato sauce, ½ cup of broth, oregano, and salt to taste. Turn the heat up to bring to a boil (about 5 minutes). Once the sauce starts boiling, add the noodles, reduce heat to low, and cover the skillet to let simmer.
- Keep cooking for about 12-15 minutes, stirring occasionally as needed until noodles are cooked and tender. If the sauce still seems too liquid when the noodles are cooked through, simply remove the skillet from the heat and set aside for 5 minutes. This will allow the noodles to absorb the remaining liquid from the sauce.
