Spicy Mexican Rice Recipes

Steps:

• Saute 1 chopped onion in 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in 1 cup white rice and cook until toasted, 3 minutes. Add 1 2/3 cups water, 1 chopped plum tomato, 2 teaspoons tomato paste and 1/2 teaspoon each kosher salt and cumin; bring to a boil. Add 1 whole jalapeno. Cover; simmer 20 minutes. Remove from the heat and let sit 5 minutes. Discard the jalapeno. Top with cilantro.

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large saucepan and add the onion. Fry for 5 mins over a medium heat or until starting to soften, then add the chilli, fry for another 2 mins, then add the garlic, spices, coriander stalks and chipotle paste. Stir well and sizzle for a min or so.
• Tip in the tomatoes. Fill the can with water, pour that in, refill the can halfway with water, then add that too. Add the rice. Mix well, bring to the boil, then reduce to a simmer for 25-30 mins, covered with a lid, until the rice is tender and the liquid has all been absorbed. Stir through the coriander leaves. Try using the rice in our Brazil nut burritos.

Steps:

• Melt butter in a pot over medium-low heat. Stir rice, jalapeno, green onion, and garlic together in the melted butter until rice is completely coated with butter. Add chili powder, cumin, salt, chipotle chile powder, and cayenne pepper; cook and stir until fragrant, about 1 minute.
• Stir chicken stock and tomato sauce into rice mixture. Bring to a simmer, cover the pot, reduce heat to low, and simmer for 20 minutes. Turn heat off and leave pot covered on the burner for 8 minutes. Remove cover and fluff rice with a fork.

Steps:
