Categories     Spanish

Time 25m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/2 cups long grain white rice
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/4 cup onion, finely diced
4 ounces el pato salsa fresca (or tomato sauce if you cant find el pato sauce)
2 1/2 cups chicken broth
1 teaspoon cumin
1 tablespoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
pepper

Steps:

  • in a bowl combine broth, cumin, chili powder, salt & half a can of el pato sauce (if you can't find el pato use regular tomato sauce).
  • brown rice, in hot oil, in a large skillet for approximately 5 minutes flipping occasionally.
  • add diced onion, minced garlic, sauté for 1 minute.
  • add seasoned broth, bring to a boil.
  • reduce heat to low, cover and simmer for 15 minutes. do not check on the rice before the 15 minutes is up, this will allow steam to escape and may make your rice turn out undercooked.
  • most of the water will absorb before the 15 minute time limit but keep covered and continue to steam for the entire 15 minutes. this will make for perfect rice that isnt crunchy.
  • after 15 minutes turn heat off, uncover & flip rice over. recover & let sit until everything else is ready. you can let the rice sit covered for up to 25 minutes which will cook out most of the moisture & leave perfect fluffy rice.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe, flavorful tomatoes for the best sauce. Roma tomatoes are a good option because they have a low water content and a concentrated flavor.
  • Roast the tomatoes before making the sauce. This intensifies their flavor and makes them easier to blend.
  • Use a blender or food processor to puree the tomatoes until they are smooth. If you want a chunkier sauce, you can leave some of the tomatoes unblended.
  • Season the sauce to taste with salt, pepper, and other spices. You can also add herbs, such as cilantro or basil, for extra flavor.
  • Simmer the sauce for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. The longer you simmer the sauce, the thicker it will become.

Conclusion:

El Pato Mexican Tomato Sauce is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be used in a variety of dishes. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences.
