When it comes to Mexican food, in addition to beans and tortillas, red rice is a staple of everyday meals in Mexican cuisine. The beauty of this restaurant style Mexican Rice recipe is not only how delicious it is, but also how easy it is to prepare, and that it goes well with almost any meal. This makes it one of the most cooked Mexican side dishes. In our cooking video Gran Luchito head chef, Susy V, shows you step-by-step how easy it is to make authentic and delicious Mexican rice. Tips To Make The Perfect Rice: Now rice is very easy to make but there are a few rules you have to always follow in order to get perfect rice, and that is: Always wash your rice before cooking. Place it in a fine mesh sieve under the tap and wash until the water under it runs clear. This means you wash away some of the starch and it helps to avoid your rice from sticking and getting mushy whilst it’s cooking. Rice and cooking liquid ratio is always 1:2, so if you are cooking 1 cup of rice you make sure you cook your rice with 2 cups of water, stock or any liquid. Never stir the rice while it is cooking otherwise it will become mushy, simply let it cook by adding the liquid, covering your pot with a lid and letting it simmer on a low heat until the liquid is absorbed and the rice is cooked through. Now with that said, for this recipe there may be a slight variation as the amount of liquid you add might change depending on how big your roasted tomatoes are and how much roasted tomato puree you get. Bearing that in mind, you need to add the remaining liquid you need in order to achieve the 1:2 ratio. This can be in the form of chicken or vegetable stock. Here is our recipe!
