SPICY RED BEANS AND RICE
I guess I'm one of those women "who have moved from the country in body but not in heart"! Although I'm an attorney in a large city, my parents are ranchers. And, since they once grew rice, that's a staple of my cooking. Because of my busy schedule, I like dishes like this that can be easily reheated throughout the week. This was actually a soup recipe when I first found it. I needed a side dish, however, so I simply reduced the amount of water.

SPICY RED RICE WITH CHICKEN AND VEGETABLES
Another dish that I discovered on another site, then tweaked to my taste preferences. For a dish that's not so spicy, reduce the amount of cayenne pepper and substitute plain or herbed diced tomatoes for the tomatoes with green chilies.

SPICY RED RICE
Steps:
- Heat the oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and 1/2 teaspoon salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft, 6 to 8 minutes. Add the rice and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes. Stir in the tomatoes, chilies, and 1.25 cups water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer, stirring once halfway through, until all the water is absorbed, 18 to 20 minutes. Remove from heat and let stand, covered, for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork before serving.
Tips:
- Use a sturdy pot: A heavy-bottomed pot will help to evenly distribute the heat and prevent the rice from sticking.
- Rinse the rice: Rinsing the rice will help to remove the starch and prevent the rice from becoming gummy.
- Use the right amount of water: The general rule of thumb is to use 1 1/2 cups of water for every cup of rice.
- Bring the water to a boil before adding the rice: This will help to prevent the rice from clumping together.
- Reduce the heat to low and simmer: Once the water has come to a boil, reduce the heat to low and simmer for 18-20 minutes, or until the rice is cooked through.
- Fluff the rice with a fork: Once the rice is cooked, fluff it with a fork to separate the grains.
- Serve the rice immediately: Red rice is best served immediately after it is cooked.
Conclusion:
Spicy red rice is a flavorful and versatile dish that can be enjoyed on its own or as a side dish. It is a good source of fiber and nutrients, and it is also relatively easy to make. With a few simple tips, you can make perfect spicy red rice every time.
