Yellow Rice with
|
My version of yellow rice with mixed vegetables uses Goya Sazon seasoning packet for the color and I like to load it with epis and garlic for great flavor. With any of my recipes, you can always tweak it to fit your preference. Give this one a try and let me know what you think!
Ingredients:
Directions:
1. In a pot on high heat, add 4 tbsps. oil, 1 small, finely diced onion, and 3 – 4 tbsps. of epis. Stir ingredients well and sauté for about 1 – 2 minutes.
2. Add in the frozen mixed vegetables and 1 crushed Maggie. Stir and mix contents well. (You also have the option of dissolving the Maggie cube in a little bit of water before adding it to the pot.) Sauté for an additional 2 – 3 minutes stirring occasionally to keep the mixed vegetables from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
3. Pour 5 – 6 cups of water into the pot (depending on your preference for the tenderness of the rice) and sprinkle in 1 packet of Goya Sazon. Stir contents, cover the pot with its lid and allow it to come to a roaring boil.
4. Add 3 cups of jasmine white rice to the boiling liquid and stir contents. Allow it to return to a boil, uncovered. Sample liquid and if desired, add ½ tsp. of Adobo or to taste and/or salt to taste.
5. Continue to allow the liquid to boil as it reduces, stirring occasionally. When it reduces close to the level of the rice, turn down the heat to medium and stir in 3 tbsps. of butter. Continue to stir occasionally as the liquid further reduces and the butter fully incorporates.
Serves 4 - 6
