My attempt at Spanish Rice

[Guest guest]

Thank you so much to Donnalilacflower and " recetta " for the instructions on how

to make Spanish Rice/Mexican Rice.

I used a combination of your two recipes and made a big pan of this for dinner.

My vegan Son-in-law ate half the pan - wants me to add beans to it next time.

He LOVED it! Thanks so much. I find cooking for a vegan a challenge; but

since finding this group I am learning you just have to find out the tricks.

 

Thanks to everyone for all the great recipes and ideas

" Mexican Rice " att: Zelda

 

 

Try this Zelda, you will love it.

I make this all the time, it's a must for potlucks and

family gatherings.

 

" Mexican Rice "

 

1 cup long grain white rice (I use basmati)

1/2 large onion chopped, not minced

1/2 cup salsa (I use my own or a medium or hot

strength chunky in a jar, don't use picante or taco

sauce)

1 3/4 cups boiling water or veggie broth or 1

veg.bouillon cube along with the water

dash of salt (optional)

 

Saute the rice and onion in 2 tblspns. of olive oil

until the onions are just tender but still firm. Keep

stirring so the rice doesn't burn. Add salsa and

water or broth and stir, bring to a rapid boil, stir

again and cover. Turn the heat to a low simmer for

15 mins. Fluff with fork.

 

*** Note - There are several things you can do at

this point. Toss a 1/3 cup of green onion tops in

along with some sliced olives and a handful of thawed

corn. You can also toss 1/4 cup of chopped cilantro

in. I like to toss thawed peas in it now and then.

 

You can prepare the rice with green salsa verde

instead and it will be a Mexican Green Rice.

 

This rice is wonderful as a side dish, an enchilada

stuffing with beans and cheese if you like, on top of

a tostada, you can stuff bell peppers or tomatoes or

onions and bake.

 

It makes a nice dinner with Crumbles on top and melted cheese.

 

Picture yourself in a boat on a river,

With tangerine trees and marmalade skies

Somebody calls you, you answer quite slowly,

A girl with kaleidoscope eyes.

I think you deserve a big Thank you for making the effort to accommodate you

son in law. I know everyone on this list has probably had someone give them

a hard time about being Veg. some time or another. I bet he really

appreciates it.
