Mexican Rice

After a small criticism of someone’s Mexicans rice last night I thought I needed to show what Mexican rice is supposed to look like according to one of my best friends from Mexico City and how it’s made.

I cheat a little bit and start with a box of Zatarain’s Mexican Rice. Add 2 tbs real butter and melt it to toast the rice and spices first. 1/2 cup of Fresh Salsa that is very spicy. 1.5 cups water. Mix it all together, cover and simmer. DON’T TOUCH IT ANYMORE. Cook all the water off. Add some hot water back to it and uncover until the edges are crisp. 5-10 min.
