Mexican Rice

 

*This is a Mexican dish calleed sopas secas (dry soup). To make a sopa seca, a

starchy food such as rice, noodles, or cut-up tortillas is cooked slowly in a

soup broth. Eventually the broth is completely absorbed by the starch, leaving

a " dry " soup.

 

1 cup white rice, uncooked

2 Tbsp. oil

4 cups tomato juice

4 Tbsp. margarine (or olive oil)

1/2 tsp. ground cumin

1 tsp. salt

1/2 green pepper, chopped

2 garlic cloves, finely chopped

1 1/2 cups chopped onion

2 large tomatoes, chopped (or 1 8-ounce can (1 cup) tomatoes, cut up with a

spoon)

 

Rinse and drain rice. Dry on paper towels. In a large frying pan, heat oil and

fry raw rice until it becomes brown. In a saucepan, heat tomato juice. Add to

rice in the frying pan. Add rest of ingredients, cover, and cook over low heat

until tomato juice is absorbed and rice is soft (about 20 minutes).

 

Serves: 4 - 6
