CUBAN-STYLE YELLOW RICE
Yellow rice is a staple in the Caribbean because of its beautiful color and flavor. Being Cuban, our household often served yellow rice. It's traditional to garnish yellow rice with pimentos, but I don't like them so I don't. Serve yellow rice with Cuban-style roast pork, or add cooked chicken pieces while cooking the rice to make Arroz con Pollo.

EASY SPANISH YELLOW RICE
I'm a lazy cook so when I had a craving for my grandmother's yellow rice, I figured out a recipe that would taste the same and be simple. Amounts and ingredients can be changed according to your tastes and it keeps well too! This is a kind of spanish rice that my Domincan grandmother makes, using tumeric instead of saffron to give the rice its color, with peas, shallot/onion, and garlic.

- Add the shallots and garlic and cook until they start to brown, around 2-3 minutes.
- Add rice, broth, tumeric, and salt. Add frozen peas; I usually add enough to cover the surface of the broth (you can gauge this by adding them little by litte, they usually float to the top). Bring to a boil; this may take a few minutes.
- Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until tender and liquid is absorbed, this takes anywhere from 15 to 20 minutes depending on tastes and your stove!
- Sprinkle with fresh cilantro for a little extra flavor.

AWESOME CHICKEN AND YELLOW RICE
This is one of my staples and it is often requested. There is a lot of garlic in this, but it does not overpower. Served with good bread and a salad, it can't be beat. I use the packaged Vigo yellow rice mix for ease. Also, because this cooks for awhile, use either chicken thighs, legs or quarters to keep from drying out. Find the whole garlic cloves and spread them on your bread. I use a paella pan with a lid or you can use a casserole dish that you cover with foil.

Steps:
- 1. Rinse the rice in a mesh colander thoroughly to remove all of the surface starch. This step alone can improve your rice dramatically, no matter what type of rice dish you are choosing to make. Rinse the rice until the water runs clear. You may want to dig your hands through the rice, moving it around to really rinse it well. Drain the rice well.
- 2. In a large pot with a tight fitting lid, heat 3 cups of water to a boil. Once boiling, turn heat down to about 4, or medium low. Meanwhile as the water is heating, in a frying pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat until very hot. Add in the onion and cook for about 1 minute, and then add in the rice to the frying pan. Frying the rice before boiling the rice is commonplace in Spanish and Latin kitchens, though many people are not aware of this ever important step. Fry the rice, stirring with a wooden spoon, for about 4-5 minutes.
- 3. Add to the rice the chicken boullion packets and Sazon Goya packets, and stir well. Be sure all of the rice is evenly coated with the seasoning.
- 4. Transfer the rice to the boiling water, stir once, and cover with the lid. DO NOT open the lid until the rice is done, which will be about 20 minutes. The rice relies on the steam to thoroughly cook through, and by removing the lid, you will allow the steam to escape. Once done, fluff with the back of a fork, and serve with black beans and chicken, pork chops, or anything you like.
- 5. Optional: You can add 1/2 C of frozen mixed vegetables to the rice if you'd like to. Just add them when you are in the stage of frying the rice, to the rice, and transfer to the hot water together.

Steps:
- In a medium sized pot heat olive oil and add ham. Cook until browned.
- Add sofrito and simmer over medium heat for 2 or 3 minutes.
- Add all remaining ingredients, mixing thorougly.
- Taste broth for reseasoning, if necessary. It should be very slightly on the salty side being that the rice will absorb most of the seasoning.
- Cover. Cook over medium low heat for about 25 minutes. Stir, cover and cook for an additional 15 minutes.
Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Look for fragrant jasmine rice and flavorful chicken broth.
- Rinse the rice thoroughly before cooking to remove any starch and impurities.
- Toast the rice in a little oil before adding the liquid. This will help to develop a nutty flavor.
- Use the correct ratio of rice to liquid. For yellow rice, the ratio is typically 1 cup of rice to 1 1/2 cups of liquid.
- Bring the rice and liquid to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 18-20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and all of the liquid has been absorbed.
- Once the rice is cooked, fluff it with a fork and serve immediately.
