This recipe has been passed down to me from my mother who learned it from her mother. It's made from ingredients found in almost every kitchen! It'll sure be a hit. I have tried this rice over and over again and have developed my own new flavor.

Time 55m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 small jalapeno pepper
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 cups long grain white rice
1 (15 ounce) can whole peeled tomatoes
½ onion, roughly chopped
¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro
2 tablespoons chicken bouillon granules
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 clove garlic
2 cups water

Steps:

  • Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.
  • Place jalapeno pepper on a baking sheet.
  • Roast jalapeno pepper under the preheated broiler until skin is browned and blistered, 2 to 3 minutes per side Remove from oven and remove stem.
  • Heat oil in a pot over medium-low heat; cook and stir rice in the hot oil until evenly browned and fragrant, 5 to 10 minutes.
  • Blend roasted jalapeno, tomatoes, onion, cilantro, chicken bouillon, lemon juice, and garlic in a blender until smooth; stir into the browned rice. Continuously stir mixture until rice has absorbed the liquid, 5 to 10 minutes.
  • Pour water into rice mixture, continuously stirring until liquid boils. Boil for 1 minute. Cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer until rice is fully cooked, waiting at least 20 minutes before removing the lid. Remove rice from heat and let stand 5 minutes before serving.
