Mexican red rice, also known as 'arroz rojo', is a flavorful and vibrant side dish that's perfect for any meal. This version features garlic and jalapeno for an extra kick, making it a delicious accompaniment to your favorite Mexican dishes.
- Rinse the white rice thoroughly under cold water to remove excess starch and prevent the rice from becoming too sticky.
- For a spicier kick, you can add more jalapeno or even substitute with a hotter variety of chili pepper.
- If you prefer a less spicy dish, remove the seeds and veins from the jalapeno before dicing it.
- To enhance the flavor, consider toasting the rice in the olive oil until it turns golden brown before adding the broth.
- Use a fork to fluff the rice after cooking to maintain its texture. Avoid stirring too much, which can make the rice mushy.
- For added depth of flavor, you can use homemade vegetable broth instead of store-bought.
Enjoy your homemade Mexican red rice with garlic as a flavorful side dish or even as a base for bowls, tacos, and more. This simple yet tasty recipe will surely become a staple in your kitchen.
