Thank you! Two tips- 1-wash your rice as it can contain arsenic along with other pesticides, and/or other impurites, while removing alot of unwanted starch, 2- use a fork to fluff or turn the rice so a mashed potato texture doesn't occur, I add tumeric, cumin, paprika, saffron, thai chili, as well as chili flakes to the spices and chicken broth. For a crunchier texture I chop sweet peppers, onion, celery, corn and red kidney beans! I sometimes brown mincemeat with spices, and add it to the cooked and finished Spanish/Mexican rice for variety! This is a rice recipe that has endless preferences to please many tastebuds, as it is very versatile! Good Cooking!
@GolDreadLocks 👋Hello Friend! Thank you for contributing with really great points and recommendations. Sometimes I get stuck in a rut (as many others do) with the same topping options, so it's really nice to see different options. Thank you again for adding value to this video with your input, I really appreciate it😊 Blessings to you, wherever this message may find you
I'm salvadorina and American but I have Mexican husband and I think he will absolutely love this recipe of yours thankyou so much 😍😍❤️😋💃🏻muchas griacas mija
Awesome I hope so 😀 And I love salvadoranian cuisine 😍 from the unforgettable pupusas to the guisados! Will need to share the version i make to see if you approve off 😊
Awesome! I love Mexican food (Homemade) rice and Mexican dishes are my favorite! Thank you for sharing. The jalepeno my grandmother always uses to give it that extra kick of flavor. Restaurants cannot compare to homemade Mexican food.
@deannaalexis right on sister and Thank You! I love Mexican food too but then again I grew up on this and we all use to fight for the jalapeno. 🙈😂 you are right about the kick of flavor from the jalapeno, it's a very mild flavor but it does make a difference.
@mytwirlword 😃 thank you for sharing this. It is comments like these that motivate me to continue. I am also open to any suggestions and feedback as well. Hope this message finds you well dear❤
That was the best Mexican rice I had so far :) loved the flavors! Only mistake I made I took the wrong rice, but it still tasted good! Thank you for the recipe. Will look for more, love Mexican cuisine
Thanks for the video. I will try this recipe in my dutch oven soon. At 15 minutes you checked the rice to make sure it wasn’t sticking to the bottom. How long after that did you add the veggies? How long did you cook the veggies with the rice?
@AntonioSalas so happy to hear you will be trying out this recipe!😊😃 To answer your question on when to add the vegetables. If using fresh vegetables, add them in at the same time you add the tomato puree and broth/water. If using frozen vegetables, add them in 8 to 10 minutes before the end of the cooking time. I used jasmin rice for this particular recipe so the total cook time was 30 to 35 mins. Hope this helps out and if you have further questions don't hesitate to reach out again. Blessings to you and hope you enjoy the recipe👩🏻🍳
OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! who is this GODDESS amongst us................. i need to find wifey like this,,, if you NYC let me know,, you got skillz in the kitchen
😊 oh yes its definetly used in Mexican cooking. Actually cumin is native of the MiddleEast but was introduced to Mexico by the Spanish and Portuguese colonists. Mexico now cultivates its own cumin thanks to its introduction and was then given a new birth name of "comino"
I really love Mexican rice, and your recipe looks great. I especially like the veggies at the end. What do you do with that big hot jalapeno pepper, do you chopp it up and eat it? Well, I hope I can get a bigger kitchen one day and start cooking your recipes. By the way, you are absolutely beautiful. Please don't think I only watch your videos because I think you're beautiful, okay, yea, I guess that's a big part of it, lol. Have a great day!!! Thank you for these videos!!
Thank you and normally I add a jalapeno for a hint of spice especially when making this for a crowd but if for myself then I cut it up into smaller pieces. Thank you again for all your support and encouragement 💛💙
A que bien que lo este preparando me da gusto. Es una receta muy llenadora ya lo vera y lo mantenera caliente aya por sus rumbos. Saludos hasta Canada!
Wow..Delicious and yummy rice. I think I am going to try it soon, need to check whether I have all ingredients. Kindly suggest some alternate for beef broth?
Thank you sweety and you can substitude for chicken or vegetable broth. If you dont have any on hand you can use water and enhance flavor with any bouillon powder. I use Knorr or Goya brand. Let me know if you have any other questions :-*
@CR S greetings😊 and thank you very sweet wishes and hope this message finds you well❤ Oh yes most definitely although it's not common in Mexican cusine to add beans to the mixture. The brown rice option is an easy switch but the cooking time will vary slightly. You will have to cook for a bit longer I would say 30mins more than you would when cooking with white rice. Going back to adding beans, I would suggest cooking the beans separately until almost done according to package direction or if it makes it easier fully cook them then mix in last minute. Central and South America have a delicious recipe of rice and beans I will be sharing as well, so stay tuned👩🏻🍳 Hope you enjoy and if you have further questions Iam a message away😊
When you add the vegetables at the end, make sure it’s fresh cut not and not in a semi frozen state, 5he taste and the texture later on is way different and more intense. Thanks for the video
Greetings Arianna! Yes that totally works and since canned vegetables are cooked already make sure to drain and rinse them and add in at the same time you would frozen veggies. Let me know if anything else comes up. Enjoy! 🍽
The reason why most people wash their rice is to get rid of the extra starch, not because it’s bad for you, but because that way it won’t get to mushy or make the broth starchy. But If you brown the rice in oil first you actually don’t have to worry about washing the rice.
What u just did is made ur own seasoning with that garlic and you just made ur own tomato sauce, my mom's been doing that too instead of adding that powder that you add for the noodles to give it flavor. This is the original seasoning to give flavor to your rice good job I see a lot of people trying to add some powder and letting it boil for flavor, witch is ok but I like the original and legendary Style
@@CookingwithLilia Mother and my aunts on both sides called it Spanish rice, but I do believe they may have adapted it to feed lots of young strong boys.
@GregChambers ahhh I see and with that many boys yes no wonder, you definitely have to make each recipe stretch out. But it doesn't stop the feeling to take another bite. Will have to prepare your family recipe. Sounds delish and I have everything. Might even add scallions instead of onion since I have loads of it
@jackmurak 👋Hi Jack! You can totally swap the frozen veggies for fresh ones. Just make sure to sauté the veggies in some oil and the rest of the steps are the same as in the video. Hope that helps!
Good point and I've made this recipe for as long as I can remember I totally forgot. I will make sure to share more details and thank you for the pointers. As for frying the rice, its should be on medium heat for about 10 mins or until rice is a golden brown then add all the veggies and liquids. Then continue to cook for another 20-30 mins until rice fluffs and no liquid remains. All stove heating point varies so this is an estimate. I say this because my last stove medium heat was more of a high temp.
@@CookingwithLilia That's funny that you would even respond to his comment, and mine. But I must say, you really are a very beautiful and stunning women. And that won't do you any harm when making your vids. And just to respond to his comment shows you have a very good natured soul, and you can handle the weirdos, Lol! You make the world a better place! And fun too! 😊
@KurtHenze 😊thank you and everyone sure is something in the comment section🙃. Brings out unexpected emotions for sure. You know, I truely hope I can make the world a better place with what seems like effort the size of a grain of mustard. Figured if I can't make a significant difference than at least not damage it you know...
@@CookingwithLilia We use a steam pot. I think in US, it's similar to instant pot. We didn't cook rice with anything, just steam it until it's ready. The difference lies in it evaporate unnecessary water away which make rice less softer. We use rice as our primary supplement and dish(mean and vegetables) as mate (like coffee and coffee mate). Of course, we also have fried rice, I think much more like Mexican rice, but we fried steamed rice with some eggs and some vegetables. Kinda like yours from its appearance.
@panzhang totally understand now and yes actually I have seen that method which is also common in MiddleEastern cooking as well. Rice is delish so I am with you on that and have had it for breakfast at times with a fried egg and vegetables drizzled with seasame oil which was quiet tasty
Thank you!

Definitely😊 @aLingBeyts
Always wash the rice because the starch and dirt is very bad for you
I only wash my rice if I am making white rice. Never washed it for fried rice
It's neat to hear how everyone has their way of preparing the same food. But who knows which is correct 🤷
Exactly....everyone cooks different.
The reason why most people wash their rice is to get rid of the extra starch, not because it’s bad for you, but because that way it won’t get to mushy or make the broth starchy. But If you brown the rice in oil first you actually don’t have to worry about washing the rice.

Can you double the recipe?
+Sabrina Bates oh yes definetly but that would be plenty to feed a crowd
im not gunna front i dought ur rice is better than my moms
Oh noo but practice makes for a better outcome
ur kind
Please call it a molcajete! That’s what it is!
@JanetRomero ...I am aware 😉 but one can't assume all Non-Spanish speakers would understand
What u just did is made ur own seasoning with that garlic and you just made ur own tomato sauce, my mom's been doing that too instead of adding that powder that you add for the noodles to give it flavor.

So basically Indian pulao
Didn't think of it before but yes very similar! 😀😊 Pulao is bomb!
@@CookingwithLilia does Mexico have some Indian MasterChef?? Bcoz. Not only this a lot of Mexican food is just a twisted version of indian foods..
I cheat and use bacon grease to brown the rice, then spices, tomatoes and veggies then 80/20 beef. SSSSHHHH don't tell anyone!
@GregChambers ...you got me at bacon grease **insert a slow and sadly defeated tune** tucking my apron back into the drawer🥲
@@CookingwithLilia It's cheating, I know, but Mom was from New Orleans and Dad was from Arkansas, so I couldn't restrain myself.
@GregChambers ahhh now I understand so a version similar to that of the recipe called "dirty rice"? If Iam not mistaken it is a New Orleans recipe
@@CookingwithLilia Mother and my aunts on both sides called it Spanish rice, but I do believe they may have adapted it to feed lots of young strong boys.

wash the rice! remove the starches and here in Mexico we don't use cumin on everything like you guys do! no cumin and no oregano please!!!
At least give advice on how long to cook the rice before we put all the ingredients together if it's for a first timer even the time and Temp
