Whats On For Dinner Tonight?

Question

all recipes gladly accepted!!

Answer 1

¼ cup olive oil
1 ¾ cups of long-grain white rice
3 cups chicken stock
1 cup of diced tomatoes (cooked, preferably)
1 onion, chopped fine
1 garlic clove, minced
¼ tsp oregano
1 teaspoon salt

Wash and drain the rice, pat dry on a kitchen cloth.

In a large skillet, add the olive oil and heat to smoking. Then add the rice. Turn the heat to medium. Add the sliced onions and minced garlic. Fry well, till the onions and garlic are golden and softened. It is difficult but the rice should be fried to brown, almost to the point of burning. This will bring out the best flavor in it.

Meanwhile, put the chicken stock in anther saucepan and simmer on medium heat. To this stock add the tomato, oregano, and salt. Then add the fried rice, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat again and cook on low heat for about 15 minutes.

The rice will be cooked, and will have assimilated the flavors of chicken stock. To the stock one can add pieces of chicken, beef fillets, diced vegetables like carrots, celery, peas, beans, even olives. The taste and flavors only get better and stronger.
An interesting tip, a dash of lemon will enhance the flavor of the rice and also prevent it from getting sticky.

To get that real Spanish feel, and make the dish dance to the heady beat, add a cup of salsa to the chicken broth before anything else. The Spanish rice thus prepared will be pedigreed Spanish.
