• 2 tablespoons cooking oil (infused with hot chiles, if you have it)
• 1 small onion, peeled and diced
• 2 shallots, peeled and diced

Mexican Rice with Roasted Tomatoes
Mexican Rice Recipe Ingredients:

• 1 tablespoon lard or butter
• 1 1/2 cups long grain white rice
• 1 fourteen oz can of beef broth with onions
• 1 fourteen oz can of fire-roasted tomatoes
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 cup water

Mexican Rice Recipe Instructions
Warm the lard or butter in a medium pot over medium heat and begin to saute the rice until the grains begin to become opaque. Carefully add in the beef broth, tomatoes, and garlic powder. Bring it to a boil and then reduce to simmer and cover. Let it simmer for 15-17 minutes. Fluff the rice with a fork and serve with your favorite dish.

Substitutions- You can add 2-3 cloves of chopped fresh garlic instead of the powder. If you don't have beef broth with onions, you can add 1/4 cup chopped onion when you saute the rice. If you don't have fire roasted tomatoes, chopped or diced tomatoes will be fine. Just make sure they do not have any additional seasonings.

A nice mexican rice recipe to try !
INGREDIENTS

• 1 cup uncooked rice -- your choice
• 2 cups cold water
• 2 cloves garlic, minced or crushed
• Olive oil
• 1/2 onion
• Coarsely chopped small roma tomato, chopped into about 4 pieces
• Hot pepper of your choice, sliced lengthwise
• Tomato sauce (I'd say a little less that 1/4 cup)
• 1 tsp comino seeds (cumin) ground into powder
• 1 Tbs chicken bouillon
• Salt, to taste

INSTRUCTIONS

Put a little olive oil (Tbs or so) into a medium-sized pot and heat to a medium temperature, add the rice, uncooked, and brown in the oil. Make sure all the rice is lightly coated with the oil. You do not have to stir the rice around very much at first, while browning, but as the rice becomes browner you want to be stirring it around to make sure it all browns evenly and doesn't burn. It will turn brown, but t's not burning unless it's turning dark/black. Towards the end of the browning, add the garlic so that it is sort of sauteed/browned.

Next, dump the water on the rice (it will steam up loudly) and add the remaining ingredients. Stir well and cover (with a small air escape). Reduce heat to medium-low to medium, and let cook for 20-30 minutes. The essential rule of this recipe is "Do Not Peek" while the rice is cooking.

When it is ready, all the water will be absorbed, the rice will fluff, and each grain will be "split open" because of the browning. It should be dry, not saucy. You can adjust the spices/peppers to your taste. The recipe can be changed by keeping with the 1 cup rice/2 cups water ratio, and adjusting remaining ingredients. The mexican rice recipe is ready to serve.....enjoy the rice !
