(Arroz a la Mexicana)
Category: Rice Dishes
Rice cooked in broth with tomatoes, onion, and garlic is a classic rice dish, with variations, throughout Mexico. It goes well with so many things; try it with Chicken with Black Bean and Avocado Salsa (see Poultry), or Seared Tuna with Oregano and Garlic (see Fish and Shellfish).
2 teaspoons corn oil, olive oil, or other vegetable oil
1 cup long-grain white rice
1/2 medium white onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic (medium), finely chopped
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 pound plum tomatoes, peeled and finely chopped
2 cups canned fat-free reduced-sodium chicken broth
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
1. In a 4-quart saucepan, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the rice and cook, stirring, until golden, about 4 minutes. Add the onion, garlic, cumin, and salt. Cook, stirring, until the onion softens, about 3 minutes. Add the tomatoes and cook until the juices evaporate and the mixture is nearly dry, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the broth all at once and stir to settle the rice. Bring to a boil.
2. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer until the liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender, 18 to 20 minutes. Remove from the heat and let stand 6 to 8 minutes. Fluff the rice and stir in the cilantro. Serve hot.
