Paulitas Hatch Green Chile Spanish Rice
Ingredients
- 3 cup(s) Rice (we prefer Jasmine)
- 1 large Onion (peeled and cut into quarters)
- 1 1/2 tsp(s) Garlic (we prefer jarred roasted garlic)
- 1/2 tsp(s) Cummin (add more to taste)
- 1 tsp(s) Dried Parsley
- 1/2 tsp(s) Dried Cilantro
- 1/2 tsp(s) Dried Oregano
- 1/2 tsp(s) Black Pepper
- 2 cup(s) Diced Fresh Tomatoes (or 1 can of fire roasted tomatoes)
- 3 1/2 tbsp(s) Paulita's Green Chile Seasoning (add more to taste)
Instructions
Preparation:
- Oil a 4 quart, heavy gauge pot with olive oil then add ¼ cup of olive oil to the pot. Add rice and onion and blanche on medium heat until rice is golden brown stirring frequently.
- Add all the other ingredients except for the Paulita's Green Chile Seasoning. Stir well and then add 3 ½ cups of hot water and bring to a boil. I pour the water through a splatter screen as it prevents a mess on my stove. Add Paulita's Green Chile Seasoning ½ tablespoon at a time stirring between additions. Taste for desired salt content and add more as needed.
- Cover tightly and lower heat to a simmer for 15-20 minutes. Do not stir or open lid (my husband is awful about this). Remove from heat and let sit for 5 minutes as the trapped steam will finish off cooking the rice.
- We serve straight from the pot though you can place the contents into a serving dish for more formal occasions.
