My BF said this was the best rice he had ever eaten. I adapted this recipe from a Sunset Mexican Cookbook. This recipe can easily be cut in half.

SERVES 6 -8 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

2 cups long grain rice
6 tablespoons butter or margarine
2 small onions, finely chopped
3 garlic cloves, minced
4 medium tomatoes, peeled and chopped
4 cups regular-strength chicken broth
2-3 california chilies (optional) or pasilla chiles, medium sized, seeded and chopped (optional)
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro (optional)
1 cup pimento stuffed olive

Directions

1
In a wide frying pan over medium-high heat, brown rice lightly in butter or margarine.
2
Add onion, garlic, tomato, and chiles, if used and cook for 2 or 3 minutes; add 3 cups of the broth.
3
Cover and simmer 25 to 35 minutes or bake, covered, in a 350F oven 50 to 60 minutes.
4
Add more broth, if needed, to cook rice. However, there should be no liquid remaining when rice is tender to bite.
5
Add cilantro, if desired, during last 10 minutes.
6
Garnish rice with olives.

We loved this rice. With the olives added it had such great flavor! I used canned green chilies for ours and they flavored it really well with all the other ingredients combined. This will be made again and I will be passing the recipe on to my sister and mother, as they love Mexican rice too!

UMMM! DH and I LOVED this rice recipe! I followed the recipe almost exactly, using 1 fresh pasilla, but omiting the cilantro. Oh my goodness, was it good! After a few of her recipes, I have a motto! "You can't go wrong, with cookiedog"!Excellent, once again! Made for Zaar World Tour.
