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

One of the most popular sweet desserts we have in our Mexican culture is the Mexican Rice Pudding “Arroz con leche”, which, as with the other candies or desserts I mentioned above, is all natural, easy to make and very delicious. I hope you enjoy this delicious recipe.

MEXICAN RICE PUDDING

Cup short white rice*

Cups of water

cinnamon stick (see picture below)

whole milk**

condensed milk

raisins (optional)

cinnamon

Place water, rice and the piece of cinnamon in a medium saucepan. Turn heat to high and bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer uncovered for about 20 minutes, until rice is tender.

While the rice is cooking, mix the whole milk with the condensed milk and stir well.

The rice will be ready when all the water has evaporated and it has formed some holes over the surface like in the above picture.

Remove pot from heat. Pour the whole milk and condensed milk mix into the saucepan and stir. If you would like to add the raisins or vanilla extract, you can add them now.

Return saucepan to heat, cover and keep cooking until it thickens. It will take about 5 to 10 minutes. Stir occasionally to avoid it from sticking to the bottom of the saucepan.

If the rice looks too dry for your taste, add 1/4 cup of warm whole milk and stir. The end result has to look like a soft and creamy pudding.

If serving warm, place in small cups and sprinkle ground cinnamon. When serving cold, pour rice pudding into a container and cover with a plastic wrap pressed down to the rice surface and refrigerate. Dust with cinnamon when serving.
