Default Re: Whats for dinner???

Becks spanich rice...

Heat about 2 tablespoons of oil in a skillet til it wisps smoke
Add about 1.5 cups of rice to brown it, stir it frequently it will burn easily.
Once browned add 1 15.5 oz can of diced tomatoes,
and then fill the 15.5 oz can with water and add it
then add 1 tablespoon of "Caldo de Tomate" bouillion. and stir it all together.
Then add just enough water to cover the rice and simmer covered until water is gone.

The caldo de tomate is the kicker here Beth. You gotta use that brand or it dont taste right. She also makes it sometimes with fresh tomatoes and chilis, but only to show off for her gramma. I get the quick and easy canned stuff. But I dont care its good eatn.

Ill also add that if you will finely dice a white onion or 2 and a bundle of cilantro together it goes great on top of any mexican food, especially becks spanish rice.
