Mexican Green Rice (Rice Cooker) image

As a fan of seasoned rice, this is really good, this was well liked by the family. Is this true Mexican? That I cannot say, but it is delicious. This uses a simple cook and warm rice cooker.

Provided by Lee Thayer

Categories     Rice Sides

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 Tbsp unsalted butter
1/2 small onion, finely diced
1 c dry jasmine rice, rinsed, or any long grain white rice
1 1/2 c chicken stock
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 c fresh cilantro, minced

Steps:

  • 1. Add the butter to your rice cooker and place on Cook. When the butter is melted, add the onion and cook until the onion is softened and translucent, about 5 minutes.
  • 2. Add the rice, stock, salt, and cilantro, and stir together. Place the lid on the cooker and allow to cook until it switches to Warm setting. Leave on Warm for 10-15 minutes.
  • 3. Fluff with rice paddle, serve as a side dish and enjoy.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, flavorful ingredients will result in a better-tasting Mexican rice. Look for long-grain white rice, ripe tomatoes, and flavorful spices.
  • Rinse the rice: Rinsing the rice before cooking helps to remove starch and prevents the rice from becoming sticky.
  • Toast the rice: Toasting the rice before cooking adds a nutty flavor and helps to prevent the rice from sticking together.
  • Use a good quality rice cooker: A good quality rice cooker will cook the rice evenly and prevent it from burning.
  • Don't overcook the rice: Overcooked rice will be mushy and bland. Cook the rice according to the package directions or until it is tender but still has a slight bite to it.
  • Fluff the rice: Fluffing the rice with a fork after cooking helps to separate the grains and make the rice light and fluffy.

Conclusion:

Mexican rice is a delicious and versatile dish that can be served as a side dish or as a main course. It is easy to make in a rice cooker, and the results are always perfect. With its vibrant flavors and colors, Mexican rice is sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering.
