@lorenzoandanabelle: Recipe: 🇲🇽 Mexican Rice (Arroz Rojo) Serves 4–6 Ingredients: Rice • 2 cups long-grain white rice (I used jasmine) • 3 tbsp neutral oil (vegetable, avocado, or canola) Tomato Base (Blended) • 3 Roma tomatoes ( super red, very ripe preferably for color) • 1/2 small white onion • 2 -3 garlic cloves • 2 cups water • 1 tbsp chicken bouillon • 1 tbsp tomato bouillon • 1/4 tsp cumin (optional) *For a stronger flavor, you can increase the chicken and tomato bouillon to 1 1/2-2 tbsp each, depending on your taste and the brand used. Add-Ins: • 1 whole jalapeño pepper • 1 sprig cilantro Step 1: Blend the Tomato Mixture Blend until completely smooth: • Roma tomatoes • Onion • Garlic • 2 cups of water • Chicken bouillon • Tomato bouillon • Cumin (if using) Set aside. Step 2: Rinse the Rice Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs mostly clear. Drain very well. This helps keep the rice fluffy and prevents it from becoming sticky. *Pat dry with a paper towel if needed (to get rid of excess water) Step 3: Toast the Rice Heat the oil in a large skillet or heavy pot over medium heat. Add the rice and cook, stirring often, for 8–10 minutes until: • Light golden in color • Fragrant and nutty smelling This step is essential for authentic flavor and separate grains. Step 4: Strain and pour the blended tomato mixture through a fine mesh sieve into the rice for a smoother, restaurant-style texture. It will steam and sizzle. Stir once to distribute everything evenly. Step 5: Cook the Rice Bring to a gentle boil. Reduce heat to LOW and cover tightly. If using the jalapeño or cilantro, place the whole pepper and cilantro on top of the rice. Cook for 20-25 minutes. Do not stir while the rice cooks. Step 6: Rest the Rice Turn off the heat. Let the rice rest, covered, for 5 minutes. Remove the jalapeño and cilantro if desired and fluff the rice gently with a fork. Serve with: • Carne asada • Tacos • Enchiladas • Pozole • Refried beans Toppings: • Avocado, lime, chopped cilantro Enjoy! 😊 #mexicanfood #EasyRecipe #foryoupage #explorepage✨ #haitian
