Steps:
- For the sofrito: Bring a pan of water to a boil, add tomatoes, and blanch for 15 seconds. Drain, rinse under cold water, and peel. Core, seed, and cut into 1/2-inch dice. In a skillet over medium-low heat, add the oil and sauté the onion and garlic until golden. Add saffron and sauté 2 minutes. Add tomato and sauté until all the moisture is gone. Stir in paprika and remove from heat.
- For the rice: In a large heavy-bottomed pot, combine the sofrito and olive oil. Place over medium-low heat. Add rice and stir constantly with a wooden spoon or rubber spatula until the rice is toasted, about 1 minute. Add 3 cups of the stock and mix well. Simmer 10 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. (At this point the rice is partially cooked and may be spread on a parchment-lined baking sheet, covered with more parchment, and allowed to sit at room temperature for up to three hours before finishing.)
- To finish: Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Bring a small pan of water to a boil, add carrots, and blanch for 10 seconds. Drain, and rinse with cold water. Spread the rice evenly across the bottom of a 16 to 18 inch paella or sauté pan, and scatter the edamame, peas, corn, carrots, and olives on top. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Drizzle with remaining 1 1/2 cups stock.
- Place pan in oven and bake until the rice is crisped around the edges and a "soccarat," a crust, has formed on the bottom of the pan, about 20 minutes. Remove from oven, cover with foil, and allow to rest for 5 minutes. Sprinkle with chopped parsley and cilantro. Mix well, scraping the bottom and sides of pan, and adjust salt and pepper as desired. Serve hot.

ARROZ BLANCO (MEXICAN WHITE RICE)
When most people think of Mexican rice, they think of the typical tomato-flavored rice. When I've been in Mexico, however, I've been served this type of white rice often. This recipe is authentic Mexican and comes from Rick Bayless.

Steps:
- In small saucepan or microwave oven, heat broth or water until steaming.
- Stir in about 3/4 teaspoon salt if using salted broth, 1 1/2 teaspoons if using unsalted broth or water.
- Cover and keep warm.
- In medium (3-quart) saucepan with a tight-fitting lid, heat the oil over medium heat.
- When hot, add raw rice and onion and stir regularly until grains have turned from translucent to milky-white, 4-5 minutes.
- Add garlic and stir for a few seconds, until fragrant. Do not let grains brown.
- Add the warm liquid and lime juice, stir thoroughly, scraping down any grains that are clinging to the side of the pan.
- Cover and cook over the lowest heat for 15 minutes--temperature should be low enough that only the slightest hint of steam escapes lid.
- Remove pan from heat and let stand covered for 5 minutes.
- Uncover and test a grain of rice: if still a little hard, re-cover pan and set over low heat for about 5 min.; if rice has absorbed all liquid and is completely dry, sprinkle on 2 tablespoons water before returning to heat.
- When rice is done, sprinkle on parsley and gently fluff with fork to release steam and stop the cooking.

ARROZ BLANCO CON PLATANOS FRITOS WHITE RICE WITH FRIED PLANTAINS
Steps:
- In a heavy 4-quart stockpot, heat the oil over low heat. Add the onion and fry until soft and clear, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and continue to fry for another 3 to 5 minutes. Add the rice and stir well. Fry slowly without moving it too much, about 10 minutes. Stir in the hot chicken stock and the hierbabuena or mint. Add salt and pepper to taste. Cover and let cook for 15 to 20 minutes, or until all the stock is absorbed. Do not peek at or stir the rice during the cooking process.
- Cut the plantains in half. Cut each half lengthwise into 1/4-inch thick slices (about 4 to 5 slices). In an 8-inch cast-iron frying pan, heat the oil until smoking. Add the plantains and fry 3 to 5 minutes on each side or until brown. Remove them from the oil and drain on paper towels. Mound the rice on a plate or a platter and serve with the fried plantains on top.
ARROZ BLANCO
Taken from the Great American Brand Name Recipes Cookbook. I changed the ingredients to fit my vegitarian preference. This is the base for another rice recipe my family loves (green rice) I actually sautee on the stove top but then cook the rice in my rice cooker.
