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.

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

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.

The rice was a bit mushy for my taste. I would recommend cooking it for a shorter amount of time.

This recipe is a bit bland for my taste. I would recommend adding some additional spices to give it more flavor.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover rice. I had some leftover brown rice from dinner the night before, and this was the perfect way to use it up. The rice was delicious and the whole family loved it.
