This rice is a mild tasting pilaf-type of rice that goes well with spicy foods. If you like to spice it up, adding some chopped green chiles works well. Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups uncooked long grain rice |
2 tablespoons lard |
1/4 cup chopped onions or 1/4 cup scallion |
2 tablespoons finely diced red bell peppers |
2 tablespoons finely diced carrots |
2 1/4 cups chicken broth or 2 1/4 cups vegetable broth, heated |
1 teaspoon salt |
2 tablespoons finely chopped cilantro (optional) |
Directions:
1. Rinse rice several times under cold water in a sieve and drain.
2. Cook the onion, bell pepper, and carrot in lard for 2 minutes.
3. Add the rice and cook another minute, allowing rice to get thoroughly coated with lard.
4. Add the hot broth, and salt and bring to a boil.
5. Reduce heat, cover and simmer for 15-20 minutes on low heat, until liquid is absorbed and rice is tender (do not stir while cooking).
6. Fluff rice with a fork and garnish with chopped cilantro.
7. Serve hot.
