How do you make a good mexican rice like they have in mexican restuarant?
Posted by: admin / Category: Mexican Rice
Get some white rice and oil. Put a little oil in the pan (about 4 tblsps)(maybe more depending on who big of a pan youre using) Let the rice brown a little bit (tan it), then when you do that, pour a can of tomato sauce in, salt pepper,(to your taste),comino, and I use a little bit of oregano. Add water so that the rice gets soft. When it starts to get soft I usually throw in some jalepenos to boil with the rice.And I usually put it to low heat and cover it with a lid and let it get soft on its own. Hope that helped

I've found that the answer isn't totally in the spices, but the type of oil you cook it in, and for how long. I flash fry it for a minute or two, and then simmer it slow until it's done.

The best and easiest way I have found is to use a can of diced tomatos with green chilis. Rotel makes a very good version of this common item. (1) 14.5oz can for about 1 1/2 cups of uncooked rice is about the correct ratio. use about 1/2 cup less water then the directions on the rice ask for and sub the rest of the water with the can of tomatos. A small amount of cumin, 1 tsp salt, pepper, and coarse ground garlic to taste and presto. Seasoning should be added in the beginning. Another thing you could do for a more authentic texture is to use par boiled rice and sautee it in butter for 2-3 min before using it. Zatarans makes a great par bioled rice.

Oil, tomato puree, vegetables (corn, carrot and peas) and chicken soup concentrate (knorr). That's it.

For 3 cups of rice. Saute white onion, green bell pepper, garlic, and celery in butter. Stir in cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, 1 8oz. can tomato sauce and 2 cups water. Bring to boil. Add 1 1/2 cups white long grain rice. Bring to boil again. Cover with lid and lower heat to simmer(or low) for 20 minutes. Stir and taste. If rice is still a little crunchy, cook with lid for another 5 minutes. If you want it a little spicy add red pepper flakes and or chopped jalapeno with other veggies and spices.
