When cooked using the absorption method, medium-grain rice yields a tender, starchy, slightly creamy kernel that's ideal for saucy rice dishes like this one.

Provided by Raghavan Iyer

Categories     Lunch

Yield Yields 6 cups.

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup uncooked medium-grain white rice
1 14-1/2-ounce can diced tomatoes (preferably "petite-cut")
2 Tbs. extra-virgin olive oil
6 medium cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 medium fresh jalapeño, cored and finely chopped (if you like spicy foods, leave in the ribs and seeds; if not, remove them)
1 15-oz. can black beans, drained and rinsed
2 tsp. kosher or fine sea salt
2 tsp. ground cumin
1 tsp. chili powder
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh oregano leaves and tender stems
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh cilantro leaves and tender stems

Steps:

  • In a 1-quart saucepan, combine the rice with 2 cups cold water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, cover, reduce the heat to low, and cook for 20 minutes. Remove from the heat and let the pan stand, covered, for another 5 minutes.
  • While the rice steams, set a fine sieve in a bowl and drain the can of tomatoes. Pour the tomato juices into a 1-cup liquid measure. Add enough water to the tomato juices to equal 1 cup.
  • Heat a 10- to 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Pour in the oil and stir-fry the garlic and jalapeño until the garlic browns and the jalapeño smells pungent, about 1 minute. Add the black beans, salt, cumin, and chili powder; stir two to three times to incorporate the mixture and cook the spices, about 30 seconds. Stir in the tomato juice and water mixture and bring to a boil. Adjust the heat to maintain a gentle boil and cook, stirring occasionally, until the beans absorb much of the liquid, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the tomatoes, oregano, cilantro, and cooked rice and cook, stirring occasionally, until the rice is warm, 1 to 2 minutes. Serve immediately.

MEXICAN TOMATO RICE AND BEANS



Mexican Tomato Rice and Beans image

This is a good Tex-Mex side dish (or even a main dish) that isn't very spicy, but IS very garlicky. We had this with Recipe #120056. I didn't have quite enough of the fresh herbs so I mixed dried with fresh. From Fine Cooking (April/May 2005)

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 55m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 cup uncooked medium grain white rice
2 cups cold water
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can diced tomatoes (Petite-cut)
water (as needed)
2 tablespoons olive oil
6 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 jalapeno, cored and finely chopped (leaving in the seeds depends on how hot you like it)
1 (15 ounce) can black beans, drained and rinsed
2 teaspoons kosher salt (or to taste, I used about 1/2 of this) or 2 teaspoons sea salt (or to taste, I used about 1/2 of this)
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/4 cup fresh oregano, finely chopped
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, finely chopped

Steps:

  • In a one quart saucepan, combine rice with water.
  • Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, cover, reduce heat to low, and cook for 20 minutes.

  • Stir in the tomato juice mixture and bring to a boil.
  • Adjust the heat as necessary to maintain a gentle boil; cook and occasionally stir until the beans have absorbed much of the liquid (5-7 minutes).
  • Add the tomatoes, oregano, cilantro, and cooked rice.
  • Cook, stirring occasionally, until the rice is warmed (1-2 minutes).

Tips:

  • Use fresh, ripe tomatoes: This will give your rice and beans the best flavor.
  • Don't skip the garlic and onion: These two ingredients add a lot of flavor to the dish.
  • Use a good quality broth: This will also help to flavor the rice and beans.
