Mexicn rice Recipe

Things you will need:

Garlic fresh

Onion,

Bell pepper

Salt

5 tomatoes

Olive oil

Long grain white rice

Many spices! The reason is, we don't want our Mexican rice recipe tasting like all the other foods on our plate.
Have you ever experienced this? Tasting the spices all day! We want the rice to have a flavor all of its own and blend in with the rest of the foods.
Now that we have everything we need. Let's make some Rice. We will need 1 garlic clove. Don't have fresh garlic? Trust me we can get by with garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon will do. 1 cup of long grain white rice no minute rice, please.
Recipe calls for 3 tablespoons of oil I may use 1 cup "wh OA" wait a minute. OK maybe a little to the extremes but do you get the picture. All I want to do is brown the rice in a quart sauce pan it just makes it easy. Less chance of burning on bottom.
When I get a toasted look then I strain out excess oil. Just before we do that, lets sauté 1/2 cup of onion, 1/2 cup of bell pepper, 1 diced garlic clove, if we have them. Just a few seconds will do.
No fresh garlic? That's OK, in a blender 5 tomatoes, 1 teaspoons salt, 1/2 teaspoons of garlic powder, 2 cups of chicken broth or water will do.
Now we have our rice toasted, lightly browned, stirring frequently, don't want to burn it. Vegetables sautéed very lightly, no excess oil.
Pour liquid from blender carefully, your oil is hot. Bring to a boil, cover, simmer over low heat for 20 minutes or till liquid is absorbed. Let set for a few minutes before serving.
