SPICY SPANISH RICE



Spicy Spanish Rice image

This is a tasty dish perk up any "ho-hum" dinner. We especially like it with chicken enchiladas. I also prepare it for potlucks and family get-togethers. It's a little different to bake rice, but it's handy to not have to watch it on the stove. You can make the rice less spicy by choosing a more mild variety of the canned tomatoes with green chilies.

Yield 10 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 red bell pepper
1 poblano pepper
1 jalapeno pepper
1 serrano pepper
1 ear corn
1 tablespoon canola oil
1 onion, diced, about 1 cup
1/2 yellow bell pepper, diced
1 chayote squash, peeled and diced

Steps:

  • Heat the grill or broiler to high. Arrange the red bell, poblano, jalapeno, serrano and corn on the grill or under the broiler. Char, turning frequently, until the peppers have blistered and corn is starting to brown slightly. The smaller peppers will finish first, as they do, transfer to a small paper bag and close. Let the peppers sweat and cool, then remove the seeds and skin and dice. Cut the corn kernels from cob. Add the peppers and corn to a small bowl and stir to combine. Set aside. In a large Dutch oven, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the onion, yellow bell pepper and chayote. Saute until just starting to caramelize. Season with salt, pepper and cayenne. Stir in the garlic and rice and saute for 3 to 4 minutes. Add the chicken stock, cover and cook for 10 minutes. Stir in prepared peppers and corn, the olives, black beans and tomatoes. Cook until the rice is tender, about 6 to 8 minutes. Turn off the heat, add the cilantro and adjust seasonings, if necessary. Transfer to a serving bowl and serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Look for fresh vegetables, flavorful rice, and a good quality chorizo.
  • Don't be afraid to adjust the spice level to your liking. If you like spicy food, add more cayenne pepper or chili powder. If you prefer a milder dish, reduce the amount of spice or omit it altogether.
  • Cook the rice according to the package directions. This will ensure that the rice is cooked properly and has the right texture.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the rice. This will prevent the rice from cooking evenly.
  • Let the rice rest for a few minutes before serving. This will allow the rice to absorb all the flavors from the other ingredients.
