Ingredients
- 2 cups uncooked long grain rice
- 4 teaspoon olive oil
- 1 large chicken or veggie bouillon cube (such as knorrs or maggi)
- 5 medium scallions (chopped)
- 2 g arlic cloves (minced)
- 1 medium tomato (diced)
- 1/2 cup chopped cilantro
- 4 cups water
- 1 packet Badia Sazon seasoning*
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt (or more to taste)
Steps
-
In a medium heavy pot with a tight fitting lid, heat oil on medium heat and saute scallions, cilantro and garlic for about 2 minutes, until tender,
-
Add the tomatoes and saute another minute, until they get soft.
-
Add rice and saute 2 minutes longer, stirring frequently.
-
Add water, bouillon cube, sazón plus 1 teaspoon salt.
-
Add 4 cups water and taste for salt, it should be flavorful and salty enough, adjust as needed.
-
Let the water boil on a high heat stirring once at this point.
-
As the water boils down and just barely skims the top of the rice, reduce heat to very low and cover 15 minutes.
-
The steam will cook the rice so do not open the lid.
-
After 15 minutes, shut the flame off and let it sit at least 5 more minutes without touching the lid.
-
The steam will finish cooking the rice without burning the bottom. Then fluff with a fork and enjoy.
