I need to get this recipe on the site before I lose the tiny slip of paper with the directions. This recipe comes from my friend Nathaniel. I came home from work one night and my boyfriend and Nathaniel were making fajitas. Homemade Pico de gallo and Spanish rice included. I’ve tried to replicate it a couple times . For now, I make it the old-fashioned way with a pot on the stove. Note to self: do not use sushi rice for this dish.
I have refined this recipe for the stovetop and changed it a bit but I still wanted to keep the short story above.
Ingredients:
- Olive oil
- 1 cups rice
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1/2 to 3/4 cup tomato puree (passata)
- 1/2 yellow onion-diced
- 1 clove garlic-minced
- Salt to taste
- Garnish with fresh cilantro
Directions:
Heat olive oil in a pan on the stove and add garlic and onion, sauté for a couple of minutes.
Add rice and toast.
Add tomato puree, chicken broth and salt.
Bring to simmer and cover until rice is tender (20-25 minutes); garnish with cilantro.
