Tajín Rice Recipe

Step 1

Place the rice in a small or medium saucepan, fill IP until one inch of water over the rice, massage and mix the rice with the water until the water is cloudy, then pour off the water. Repeat three more times until the water is more or less clear.

Step 2

Add the vegetable stock, garlic powder, and onion powder to the saucepan, and mix.

Step 3

Cover the pot with a tight-fitting lid, preferably one without a steam vent (or tape over the steam vent), and heat on high until bubbling/at a lively simmer. You can lift the lid at this point a few times to check if the stock is bubbling and nearly boiling.

Step 4

Turn the heat down to the lowest setting, and set a timer for ten minutes. Do not lift the lid to check on the rice.

Step 5

After the timer has gone off, take the pan off the heat and put it to one side for another ten minutes - don't lift the lid yet!

Step 6

Take the lid off and add the butter. Using a fork, fluff up the rice and mix the butter in.

Step 7

Add the Tajín Clásico seasoning and mix through the buttered rice until evenly distributed. Leave a few minutes (around three-five, the seasoning has to rehydrate and dissolve and mix in with the other flavors) then stir again, taste, adjust seasoning if necessary and serve.
