| Mmmmm...I love Mexican rice. Unfortunately, it usually tastes like it came out of a box. This recipe is very simple and the best I have ever tasted. |
Put 1 C. of rice in a heavy pot.
Add 2 C. of chicken stock. I used Swanson's Mexican Tortilla infused broth.
Add 2 T. of butter and 1 tsp of salt. Stir this around and bring this to a boil then cover and simmer for 20 minutes.
While the rice is cooking, saute 1 small diced white onion in 2 T. of oil along with 4 diced garlic cloves. Sprinkle 1 T. of ground cumin and some black pepper over it.
Cook this until the onion softens.
Add 1/3 C. of tomato paste and stir it in.
Add this to the cooked rice and stir to combine.
Add 1/3 C. of fresh lime juice.
Add some shredded fresh cilantro if you have some. I did not. I miss my herb garden.

I'm not sure what's happening but every time I come to your blog I'm notified a virus has attached itself to your blog/system. I just wanted to give you a heads up.
Have a great day!

The flavors seem to get in the rice better that way to me!
