Mexican white rice is my favorite rice preparation. This recipe comes from Gourmet Sept. I will probably add a little parsley. Ingredients:
3 cups long-grain white rice |
1 cup finely chopped white onion |
2 large garlic cloves, finely chopped |
3 tablespoons vegetable oil |
1 cup chicken broth |
4 cups water |
Directions:
1. Bring about 6 cups water to a boil and pour over rice in a bowl. Soak rice until it has turned a more opaque white, 2 to 3 minutes. (Rice can be soaked up to 4 hrs.) Drain well and spread out on a kitchen towel to dry, at least one hour.
2. Cook onion and garlic in oil in a wide 4-5 quart heavy pot or deep skillet over med. heat, stirring, until softened, about 3 minutes.
3. Add rice and cook over med-high heat, stirring, until pale golden, about 5 minute Add broth, water, and 2 teaspoons salt and bring to a boil.
4. Cover tightly and cook over low heat until rice is tender, 18-20 minutes. Let stand covered 5 min., then fluff with fork and serve.
