Arroz a la Primavera (Mexican White Rice)
Arroz a la Primavera is a flavorful Mexican rice that is simple to prepare and pairs well with seafood, chicken, and meat dishes.
Ingredients
- 1 cup long grain rice
- 2 tablespoons white onion chopped
- 2 tablespoons cooking oil
- 1 cup mixed vegetables frozen or freshly chopped
- 2 cups broth chicken or vegetable
- 1 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Sauté rice and onion. Over low-medium heat, add oil to your saucepan and once it’s hot, add rice and onion. Using a wooden spatula, move constantly and cook for 3 minutes (we aren’t trying to brown the rice for this recipe).
- Add broth and veggies. Once you’ve lightly toasted the rice, add broth, veggies, and salt. Raise your heat to medium, stir well and bring to a boil. Once boiling, let water evaporate until you begin to see the rice through the broth. This process should take about 3 to 5 minutes.
- Cover and simmer. Cover rice with a lid, lower heat to the lowest setting, and set a timer for 20 minutes. Do NOT uncover to check if it’s ready. Uncovering your rice too soon may result in mushy rice.
- Remove from heat and let stand for another 10 minutes. When ready, fluff with fork and serve hot.
A Note from Lola
PRO TIP: Do not, I repeat, DO NOT stir rice more than once after adding broth. You may be tempted to stir again, or to uncover, but this may lead to mushy or sticky rice!
