I'm looking for a Mexican rice recipe!?

Question

My grandma made the best rice, but she's gone, so I'm looking to make it myself. I'm looking for the standard mild rice, like the kind they put in a combo enchilada platter. Thanks for your help!

Answer 1

Bigeyes provided the best answer. There is no way a Mexican cook will add chili powder, and the paella recipe is Spanish, from Spain, we're talking origin, not language here...right?

Answer 4

Vegetarian Paella

Valencia is a region on the Mediterranean coast of Spain, between Barcelona and Murcia. There are as many versions of paella as there are cooks in Spain! Paella Vegetariana is a vegetarian version of Valencia’s signature rice dish. Instead of chicken or seafood, vegetables fill in and create a tasty and satisfying vegetarian rice dish.

Because paella pans are very large round pans, they are not suitable for cooking on top of a standard burner. So, we recommend cooking paella on a round charcoal BBQ.

INGREDIENTS:

9 oz. White Flageolet Beans*

9 oz White Beans

2 medium tomatoes, diced

4 cloves Garlic, finely chopped

1 Large Eggplant, cut into large cubes

1 large Green Bell Pepper, diced

2 Artichokes or 1-16 oz can Artichokes

4-6 cups of  Vegetable Broth

Medium-Grain or “pearl” Rice

PREPARATION:

Serves 6-8.

Note: If artichokes are not in season or you cannot buy them fresh, use a 16 oz can of artichokes, drained.

*Flageolet beans are immature kidney beans and can be difficult to find in the USA.

You may substitute canned for the fresh beans, in which case you do not need to soak them. If you cannot find them in stores, use any similar white bean.

1/2 cup cilantro

1 teaspoon lime juice

3 mexican style pickled jalepenos

a pinch of oregano

1 cube chicken bullion

1 clove garlic

1/4 cup oil

1 cup mahatma rice

Take the tomatoes, onion, lime juice, cilantro and peppers and puree in blender. Take a pan and add oil and slice garlic into the oil and fry until golden brown. When garlic is done take it out and add rice and fry until lightly browned, while the rice is frying take 2 cups of hot water and add bullion cube and let desolve.

When the rice is browned add the two cups of water and bullion to the rice and 2-3 tablespoons of the salsa into the pot and add a little oregeno and let boil until done. Its no like the restaurant but it is good!!!!!
