Time 1h

Yield 10 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 red bell pepper
1 poblano pepper
1 jalapeno pepper
1 serrano pepper
1 ear corn, shucked
1 tablespoon canola oil
1 yellow onion, diced, about 1 cup
1/2 yellow bell pepper, seeded, ribs removed and diced
1 chayote squash, peeled, seed removed and diced
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
6 cloves garlic, minced
2 cups basmati rice
5 cups chicken stock
1/4 cup roughly chopped Spanish olives
1/2 cup canned black beans, rinsed and drained
1/2 cup diced tomatoes
1/3 cup freshly chopped cilantro leaves

Steps:

  • Heat the grill or broiler to high.
  • Arrange the red bell, poblano, jalapeno, serrano and corn on the grill or under the broiler. Char, turning frequently, until the peppers have blistered and corn is starting to brown slightly. The smaller peppers will finish first, as they do, transfer to a small paper bag and close. Let the peppers sweat and cool, then remove the seeds and skin and dice. Cut the corn kernels from cob. Add the peppers and corn to a small bowl and stir to combine. Set aside.
  • In a large Dutch oven, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the onion, yellow bell pepper and chayote. Saute until just starting to caramelize. Season with salt, pepper and cayenne. Stir in the garlic and rice and saute for 3 to 4 minutes. Add the chicken stock, cover and cook for 10 minutes. Stir in prepared peppers and corn, the olives, black beans and tomatoes. Cook until the rice is tender, about 6 to 8 minutes.
  • Turn off the heat, add the cilantro and adjust seasonings, if necessary. Transfer to a serving bowl and serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Start with high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the final flavor of your dish. Use long-grain white rice, such as basmati or jasmine, for the best results.
  • Rinse the rice thoroughly before cooking. This will help to remove any starch and prevent the rice from sticking together.
  • Use a large pot to cook the rice. This will give the rice plenty of room to absorb the liquid and cook evenly.
  • Bring the rice and liquid to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and simmer the rice for 18 minutes, or until all of the liquid has been absorbed.
  • Remove the pot from the heat and let it sit for 5 minutes, covered. This will allow the rice to finish cooking and fluff up.
  • Fluff the rice with a fork before serving. This will help to separate the grains and make the rice light and fluffy.
  • Serve the rice immediately, or store it in the refrigerator for later use.

Conclusion:

Spicy American-Spanish rice is a delicious and versatile dish that can be served as a side dish or main course. It is easy to make and can be customized to your own taste preferences. With its combination of bold flavors and textures, this dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
