Ok, even though everybody knows the popular RED Mexican rice, there are a couple more diferent versions of it. This is a white version of Mexican or spanish rice wich goes along with a lot of different dishes.
-
First thing to do is wash the rice and then let it strain for a little while until it´s almost dry.
-
To season the rice, we´ll blend the onion, garlic and the 1/3 cup of water.
-
Heat up your pan or pot at high heat and add some vegetable or olive oil, wait until the oil heats up too; to make sure the oil is hot enough, put 1 or 2 pieces of dry rice and if it dances, then it´s ready. Keep stiring.
-
Once the rice starts getting golden or a couple of brown ones, add the blendded onion and garlic mix and stir.
-
It will take less than a minute to absorb the mix.
-
Add salt & pepper to the HOT chicken broth and add it to the rice.
-
Add the vegetables and spread them but DO NOT MIX THE RICE! : )
-
Make a hole to the Serrano pepper with a toothpick and put it on top or the rice just for extra flavore
¡¡¡¡IMPORTANT PART!!!!​
-
As soon as it starts bubbling, LOWER the heat to low, put the lid on and cook for 15 minutes (DO NOT UNCOVER).
-
After that time,, check just in one spot to make sure there is no liquid left, if there is no more liquid,
-
Turn the heat off and let it cool down for 10 minutes BEFORE STIRING!!
-
Uncover and leave it again for 5 more minutes and THEEEEN stir.
And that´s it, you have a Mexican white rice wich goes with anything you want, stews, meat, beans, sea food, etc.
​
ENJOY!!
