Does anyone have a recipe for guatemalan RICE paches?

Question

I have been looking all over for the traditional pache that is made with rice NOT potato. I love them, they are made with banana leaves, rice, meat, peppers, and spices...I just have no idea how to put it all together for the traditional flavor. Thanks in advanced for any recipes!

Answer 2

Arroz Con Pollo Chapina (Guatemalan chicken and rice)

Ingredients: Metric Units

3 lb chicken

1 Tbsp corn oil

1 tsp salt

1/4 tsp black pepper

1/2 c chopped onion

1 garlic clove, chopped finely

1/2 c chopped ripe tomato

1 1/2 c raw rice

1 c sliced carrots

1/3 c stuffed green olives

1 Tbsp capers

2 1/2 c chicken broth

1 c green peas

1/2 c sweet red pimiento, cut into strips

1 hard cooked egg, sliced

2 Tbsp grated Parmesan cheese

Brown chicken in oil over medium heat, about 20 minutes. Sprinkle with 1/2 tsp salt, pepper. Remove from pan, set aside.

Saute onion, garlic, and tomato about 2 minutes. Add rice, saute 2 more minutes. Add carrots, olives, and capers. Add broth, and return chicken to pan. Boil, then reduce heat to low. Simmer covered until broth is absorbed (about 10 minutes).

Add peas. Cover with foil, punched with about 8 holes for steam to escape. Bake at 300° F for 30 min. Fluff with a fork once or twice during baking.

Serve warm. Garnish with pimiento strips, egg slices, sprinkle with cheese. Rice will be dry, not sticky. Serve with fried ripe plantain slices, salsa picante, and pickled vegetables.
