Directions:
- Technically, this dish is a pilaf or pilau, because the rice is first sautéed in fat and then cooked with aromatic vegetables and seasonings in a liquid.
- Select a covered wide pan or skillet large enough to cook the rice. Sauté, with constant stirring, the rice in hot fat until rice is a golden brown; DO NOT burn any of the rice.
- Add the onions, garlic, chile, tomatoes, peas** and cilantro; then sauté for a minute or two longer.
- Stir in salt, pepper, seasonings, tomato sauce and add water. Bring rice to a boil, reduce heat to a bare simmer and cover for 15 minutes. Turn off heat but leave rice covered for 5 minutes longer.
- Fluff the rice before serving.
- Note: Bacon drippings may be substituted for lard. Any other fats will not give the authentic flavor of this rice dish.
- ** The peas are optional; some use whole kernel corn; others leave them out.
