I had this Spanish rice in my last trip to Brazil. It tasted good and it was pretty close to mexican rice. I wanted to try this at home. I have googled it for the recipe but I couldn’t zero in any one in particular. In the end I made my own with some guesses based on the taste I had. It came out pretty close. Tasted so yummy!
Ingredients:
Long grain rice – 1 cup ( I have used basmati rice)
Vegetable stock – 2 cups
Salt to taste
Cumin powder – 1/2 teaspoon
Onion – 1 (medium. Sliced thinly)
Tomatoes – 2 (chipped finely)
Green Capsicum – 1/2 cup finely chopped
Carrot – 1/4 cup finely chopped
Cooked Potato – 3 tablespoon (optional)
Red chillies – 4-5 (Adjust based on spiciness of your chillies)
Garlic – 5 pods
Oil – 2 tablespoon
Oregano – 1/4 teaspoon (I have used dry)
Heat the pan again add grinded pastes and fry for a min. Add all the vegetables, salt. Fry till vegetables are cooked
