Categories     side-dish

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.

Spicy Spanish Pork Chops and Rice Casserole image

This is so flavorful. It is a combination of a couple different recipes and my own personal touches. We like things spicy, so use mild rotel and omit the jalapeno and tabasco if you don't want spicy.

SPICY SPANISH RICE



Spicy Spanish Rice image

This is a tasty dish perk up any "ho-hum" dinner. We especially like it with chicken enchiladas. I also prepare it for potlucks and family get-togethers. It's a little different to bake rice, but it's handy to not have to watch it on the stove. You can make the rice less spicy by choosing a more mild variety of the canned tomatoes with green chilies.

5 cups chicken stock
1/4 cup roughly chopped Spanish olives
1/2 cup canned black beans, drained and rinsed
1/2 cup diced tomatoes
1/3 cup freshly chopped cilantro

  • Heat the grill or broiler to high. Arrange the red bell, poblano, jalapeno, serrano and corn on the grill or under the broiler.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better your Spanish rice will be. Look for fresh, flavorful vegetables, and use a good quality olive oil.
  • Sauté the vegetables before adding the rice: This will help to develop their flavor and prevent them from becoming mushy.
  • Use a flavorful broth: The broth you use will add a lot of flavor to your Spanish rice. Use a chicken or vegetable broth that is packed with flavor.
  • Cook the rice over low heat: This will help to prevent the rice from becoming mushy and will allow the flavors to meld together.
  • Let the rice rest before serving: This will help the rice to absorb all of the flavors and will make it easier to serve.

Conclusion:

Spicy Spanish rice is a delicious and versatile dish that can be served as a side dish or a main course. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its bold flavors and vibrant colors, spicy Spanish rice is sure to be a hit at your next gathering.
