ARROZ CON FIDEO (RICE WITH PASTA)



ARROZ CON FIDEO (RICE WITH PASTA) image

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup white rice (basmati can be used)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 tablespoon butter
2 ounces angel hair pasta broken to pieces
2 tablespoons white onion
1 garlic clove
2 cups chicken broth
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

Steps:

  • Soak the white rice for 5 minutes. Drain. In a cooking pot, heat the oil over medium heat until hot but not smoking. Add the angel hair and fry for about 2 minutes, stirring constantly. It should be light brown. Incorporate the drained rice, cook for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the rice achieves a milky white color and it feels and sounds heavier when you move it. Add the chopped onion and garlic, stir and cook for another 2 minutes. Pour the broth over the rice, add the salt and lime juice, and once it comes to a boil, reduce the heat to low, cover with the lid, and cook for about 20 minutes. The rice is ready when the water has been absorbed and the rice is tender and cooked. Turn off the heat and keep it covered for at least 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork and serve. Serve with lime or Yogurt Sauce.

Tips:

  • Use medium-grain rice for a more authentic Spanish dish.
  • Rinse the rice before cooking to remove any starch and prevent it from sticking together.
  • Toast the rice in a little olive oil before adding the water or broth. This will help to develop its flavor.
  • Use a flavorful broth instead of water for a more flavorful dish.
  • Add vegetables such as chopped onions, bell peppers, or peas to the rice for a more colorful and nutritious dish.
  • Season the rice with salt, pepper, and other spices to taste.
  • Serve the rice with a variety of sides, such as grilled chicken, fish, or vegetables.
