Authentic Mexican Rice Recipe

olive oil

long-grain white rice, (rinsed and drained)

roma tomato, (diced)

white onion, (diced)

garlic ((or 4 cloves, minced))

water

tomato paste

salt, (to taste)

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the olive oil.

When the oil is hot, add in the rinsed rice and sauté for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the rice begins to brown very slightly. At this point, some grains of rice may even pop. That's okay. This step adds some nuttiness and more depth of flavor to the rice.

Add in the diced tomatoes, onions and minced garlic. Sauté&nbsp;for about 30 seconds.

Add in the water, tomato paste and a generous pinch of salt. Stir together to mix until the tomato paste has fully dissolved.

Bring the rice to a boil, lower the heat to simmer and cover.&nbsp;Let cook for 20 minutes, or until all the water has evaporated from the skillet and the rice is fully cooked through.

Authentic Mexican Rice or Arroz Rojo, is made with a simple blended sauce of fresh tomatoes, onion, and garlic.

Cup Long Grain Rice ((rinsed well and set aside to drain))

Roma Tomatoes ((cut in half))

¼ Medium White Onion

Garlic Cloves (whole)

Salt

Rinse rice in a fine mesh strainer under cold water for about 30 seconds. Set aside to drain. You want to drain as much water as you can.

In a blender add tomatoes, onion, garlic, chicken bouillon and water, or use chicken broth, and blend till pureed. (Use vegetable broth for vegetarian)You&#39;ll want to end up with 1.5 cups of liquid for 1 cup of rice. Add additional water or broth if needed to reach 1.5 cups after blending.

In a pot with a lid, add oil over medium heat. Add rice and continuing stirring to toast rice until lightly browned. Pour in blended sauce, (be careful because it will splatter), stir well, and turn heat to medium low. Once rice is simmering place lid and allow rice to simmer for 12 minutes.

Remove pan from heat and keep lid on for another 10 minutes. Then remove and fluff rice with a fork and serve.

This rice tastes exactly like that my El Paso family makes.  It’s really good and easy.  I’ve made it twice in the past week.  The only thing different I do is add in chopped cilantro after fluffing the rice.  But it’s great without it, too.  Made it for a group this past weekend and left it out since a few folks don’t like cilantro.

Perfect Mexican rice recipe! Will use over and over. I doubled the ingredients, and had a little over 3 cups of sauce, which was perfect.

Thank you for sharing this recipe. I’ve tried many and this is the one I will make over and over. A 10 out of 10!!

Exactly the recipe I have been looking to find.  It was perfect. Only recipe I will use from now on.
