Original recipe makes 60
10 cupuncooked rice
2 smallGreen bell pepper; chopped
2 smallonion; minced small
1 eachtomato; Diced
1 cupvegetable oil; (I used olive oil)
18 cupsChicken stock (bullion)
3 8-oz canTomato sauce/ puree; may Adjust to your preference
1 teaspoonssalt; (If needed...to taste)
1 tablespoonChili powder
2 tablespoonsFresh garlic; peeled and minced
1 tablespoonCumin
2 teaspoonFresh Oregano; minced
2 tablespoonsFresh Cilantro; minced
1 tablespoonPaprika

Careys Authentic Spanish Rice Preparation

1 In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium heat.

2 Add rice and cook (about 5-10 minutes) stirring occasionally, until rice is almond shade in color ( dont Burn)

3. Add 1 each Onion and Bell pepper and tomato diced to rice and stir till they are just tender

4. add all ingredients except chicken stock in a blender and puree..

5. Add chicken stock to rice and then add remaining ingredients and bring to a boil.

6 Reduce heat, cover and simmer for about 30 - 40 minutes.

7 Important!! Do not stir or play with rice this is what makes it gummy.. if done correctly this dish will take care of itself.

at end of 30 minutes or so, double check doneness and if needed add some more water or chix stock and simmer 5 minutes or so longer.

Notes

I can not say it enough to people.. do not stir rice or play with it, it will take care of itself.. when you do so , that is what causes your rice to become gooey or gummy, also using a par blanched rice is better as it has half the starch.. this will ensure you have a tasty wet and fluffy rice dish rather than heavy and starchy. You may also choose to add ceyanne or any other type of pepper to make it hotter if you choose.

Changed servings to 10 and used tomato bullion and tomato paste instead of tomato (husband doesn't like chunky veggies) first homemade rise in years and it was yummy! Will certainly make again. If you wash your rice before it will come out even more perfect. Thanks!

Great recipe! One thing that I do is rinse my rice in a colander before cooking... This removes the starch and keeps the rice from being the least bit sticky.

I made a smaller version of this and instead of doing the spices that were listed I used an enchilada spice packet. It was hands down the best Mexican rice I have ever eaten. I will make it again even though it was a little time consuming.

Very good. I made about six servings and only used the ingredients I had on hand. Best rice I ever made. Thanks
