Sunset Rice Recipe

Ingredients

How to make it

  • 1. On medium heat cook the chorizo and render the fat. Make sure the chorizo is in small pieces, this will give the rice a more even consistency.
  • Add the plantains and let the chorizo and plantains cook together for 5 minutes.
  • 2. To the chorizo and plantains add the chopped green pepper, onion, garlic, cilantro, chiles and mix to coat everything - save a small amount of each to add right before serving. (I like doing this for texture)
  • 3. Sprinkle in the dry spice mix and stir
  • 4. Add 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil
  • 5. Add 4.5 cups of water (I salt at this point, adding 1 teaspoon per cup of rice)
  • 6. Bring all of these ingredients to a slow boil.
  • 7. When the water level reaches the rice and only small bubbles are on the surface, bring the temperature to low and cover
  • 8. Allow it to cook for 25-35 minutes - DO NOT UNCOVER TO STIR!
  • 9. Once the rice is split, it is fully cooked. You may add the chopped cilantro, red pepper and chiles
  • 10. Garnish with Cilantro and red pepper and a light squeeze of lime (don't juice the lime over the rice, you just want a quick, light burst of juice)

    Thanks Tinadc! I would suggest any vegetable that has a distinctive sweet taste to it. I don't know the translation for it, but Batatas are a good option. It's a root vegetable, when peeled it is white, looks like a potato but has a sweet taste and is quite dense. Don't cut these too small, you want the sweet little cubes in the rice to stay intact. Another good option would be a pumpkin or sweet squash with the peel so they don't disintegrate during the cooking process.
