Mexican Rice - Grandma's Secret Recipe

[@sarahmedina7333]

As a true Mexican ie someone that actually lives in Mexico not someone who bailed on the country and fled to the US I can say this recipe is pretty spot on. That’s what you’ll get at most restaurants and houses alike. Looks amazing!

[@JustOneBitePlease]

Hello Sarah, It is nice to meet you. My grandmother would be happy to know you approve of her recipe. She was always in the kitchen cooking for everyone who came into her home. Thank you so much for taking the time to comment and share your thoughts with me and the Just One Bite, Please? community. Have a great day!

[@Chirmanickityville]

just went whole food with no oil. I love Spanish rice but not the same if you dont brown the rice first. So glad to see I can still brown the rice even without the oil. Thanks

[@JustOneBitePlease]

Hi Kathy, I'm so glad you liked the recipe. You're so right about browning the rice first to add the extra dimension of flavor to the recipe. Thank you for taking time to comment.

[@marieguterman1347]

Wow! You brought up back memories when I was a child in Juchitan Oaxaca my grandmother used to cook this delicious rice same exact way you prepared it over 60 years ago!!!! ¡Gracias, chef. ¡Gracias! 😢

[@JustOneBitePlease]

Hello Marie, I'm so glad the video sparked a food memory of your childhood and your grandmother's cooking. I do appreciate you for sharing your memory with us. Thank you for your support.

[@gracebock2900]

My instant impression of the layering of flavours in this recipe is that Grandma is so smart- toasting the rice is a huge key to adding 'ooomph' to this dish. I'm sure gonna copy this step.Yummy rice dish next on the menu😂😋😘

Hi Grace, It is always nice to hear from you. I hope you are well. Thank you for sharing your message. Have a great day!

This looks great. All the Mexican rice I have had was always made with peas and carrots. It's one of my favorite rice dishes, maybe my very favorite. TFS and taking your time to do this video!

[@JustOneBitePlease]

Thank you for taking the time to share your comment with us. I really appreciate it. Have a great day.

[@adrianteresa98]

Thank you so much for this video! I've been trying to get Mexican rice right for so many years and now I've done it with your recipe. The technique of toasting the rice and then cooking the tomato paste before adding liquid really makes a difference in the texture...it's perfect!

[@JustOneBitePlease]

Hello adrianteresa98, It is nice to meet you! I'm so glad you found the recipe helpful on your quest to make Mexican Rice. My grandmother would be happy to know her cooking techniques are being practiced and executed by others. Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience with the Just One Bite, Please? community. Have an amazing day!

[@billiejoemerick7564]

​@@JustOneBitePleaseCC muchos gracias🎉 OG Polish gringo here🤗 and I love your technique the best because you don't use oil to toast your rice I think This is going to be key when I prepare mine🎉 My rice has a tendency to explode and be mushy 😢☮️

[@jimmygarcia3068]

That's how my mother would cook it...lots of love

[@JustOneBitePlease]

Thank you for sharing. I often wondered if anyone else made rice this way. I hope you have a wonderful day.

[@jimmygarcia3068]

I don't know I'm Native American, I grew up in Harlingen, South Texas, I grew up eating this rice.....but now I can make almost like my mother...I spent 12 years in the Marines and there's nothing like Mama's cooking..

[@virginialpinon748]

Jimmy Garcia me too

[@stardroplet9499]

My mom would sometimes add peas to the rice. I remember being very young and helping my grandma in Mexico remove the peas from fresh pea pods for the dish too!

[@JustOneBitePlease]

Hello Star Droplet, It is nice to meet you. Thank you so much for sharing the memories of cooking with your grandma in Mexico. Have a wonderful day!

[@el7jake]

Some thoughts: if something is worth doing, it's worth taking the time to do it. And this rice is worth it! My Costa Rican housemates loved it, even though it's very different from their traditional favorite, gallo pinto. And for those of you who have problems with carrots and peas mixed with your rice because U.S. Mexican restaurants don't serve it that way--c'mon! You don't really believe that Mexican, Chinese, Italian,etc. eateries in the U.S. serve authentic foods from their cultures, do you? They anglasize the food to appeal to us. Also, Mexican cuisine can vary from region to region. There may very well be parts of Mexico where carrots and peas are not part of this dish. So, relax, put down your smart phone, and try some REAL food for a change?

[@JustOneBitePlease]

Thank you for sharing your thoughts and your experience with making this recipe. You would make my grandmother proud for carrying on her recipe and the cooking techniques she learned from her mother when growing up in Chapala, Jalisco, Mexico. I so appreciate you taking the time to comment. Have a wonderful day.

[@s1gmundfr3ud]

@@JustOneBitePlease: I am 100% positive that Mexican rice was not prepared with black pepper, extra-virgin olive oil, crushed tomatoes, tomato paste and kosher salt in Chapala in your grandma's days (or her mother's days) in those days Chapala was a very small fishing village and the only way to go to Guadalajara was by means of horse-drawn carriages on dirt roads, and you wouldn't even find those ingredients (except for black pepper, which is not an ingredient in authentic Mexican rice) in Guadalajara. You look like you are 50 years old, so your great-grandmother must have been born around 1920 - 1930 and in those years there were no supermarkets or large grocery stores to buy those products in Guadalajara, everybody would buy their ingredients for preparing meals from the Mercado or Tianguis and they would buy fresh vegetables and grains and meat in bulk by the Kilo, and everybody would use pork lard because vegetable oil was not yet available. Extra-virgin olive oil was first available in the Guadalajara area supermarkets in the first half of the 1990's and tomato paste and Kosher salt until around 2005 (they are not ingredients used in Mexican cooking). Your recipe must taste great, I am just making an observation about the time frame when those ingredients were available in the Guadalajara-Lake Chapala area. My mother used fresh tomatoes (pureed in the blender) lard and real chicken broth to make Mexican rice in the 1970's. And all my relatives and acquaintances in the state of Jalisco make Mexican rice the same way, it's not a secret to anybody. .

[@Mister2You]

Bro I made this tonight, it was very good!!!! Didn't put in the peas and carrots so our 7 year old daughter would eat it and think it was the normal looking mex rice. Man, we all loved it!!!!!! Toasting that rice gave it some dimension. Thanks, sir!

[@JustOneBitePlease]

Rob, It is my pleasure. Thank you for taking time to share your nice comment with us and have a great day!

[@supremebuffalo6322]

Just One Bite, Please? I just finished eating it, it was excellent. The red pepper and minced beef worked nicely too. I fried the beef but then put it into the mix too early, in future I would put it in right at the end. I've never cooked rice this way before. It really worked well. Thanks for the recipe!

[@el7jake]

Hello from Turrialba, Costa Rica. I made this again tonight, and I have not changed my opinion--fabulous! We served it with avocado slices and chicken cutlets. Costa Rican cuisine tends to be kind of bland and repetitive, and I think my housemates really appreciate the opportunity to try new foods, courtesy of their I'll-try-anything housemate from the U.S.--especially if I do all of the work! Gracias de nuevo, Alejandro. ¡Está riquísimo!

Good video and instructions. I generally use the same steps with the exception of the peas and carrots. Just a note for all the comments regarding time; the less rice you make, the less time it takes. The time goes by quickly when you enjoy cooking.

Hello Armored One, I appreciate you taking time to share your experience when making this style of rice. You are so right about taking the time to make good food.

[@patsyabrielle5636]

I just want to bring up a little information. I see some people commenting and calling this method, a recipe for Spanish Rice. The preparation of Mexican Rice IS NOT the same as Spanish Rice. Spanish Rice is usually made with previously cooked white rice, diced fresh onion, sliced fresh bell peppers and NO tomato sauce. It's also seasoned differently. Both are delicious and easy to prepare. Love this version of Mexican Rice!! Thank you!

[@JustOneBitePlease]

Hello Carol, Thank you for taking the time to comment. Have a great day!

[@vizzini2510]

Looks excellent! I like that the rice is toasted dry, while every other recipe calls for frying the rice in oil. However, you then add oil in with the liquid. I'm not really sure what role the oil plays at that point, since it will just float on top of the water.

[@JustOneBitePlease]

Hello Vizzini, It is nice to meet you. The added fat in the form of extra virgin olive oil adds richness and flavor. As the fat gets absorbed into the rice it carries flavor compounds from the spices, toasted rice, tomatoes, onions, garlic that we experience as more flavor. You can use any fat (butter, olive oil, chicken, pork, beef) of course the flavor will be influenced by its own flavor profile. I often roast chicken when making Mexican Rice and use chicken fat in place of the extra virgin olive oil. I'd love to hear about your cooking adventure when you make the recipe. Thank you for taking the time to write. Have a great day!

Here is the link to my Chicken Mole recipe: justonebiteplease.com/2016/06/17/chicken-mole-mexican-comfort-food/ One of my favorite meals is Mexican Rice, Refried Beans with cheese, and Fresh Flour Tortillas. It makes me think of my grandmother and the wonderful food she made for us as kids. Here is the link to the Flour Tortilla Recipe: justonebiteplease.com/2016/05/06/homemade-flour-tortillas/ Thank you for taking the time to write. Have a great weekend!

No problem man that’s the very same way my granny used to make the rice. She, however ,would just throw in the onion in halves and she would not add oil at the end, but your recipe is legit man, keep it up !

Hello Chef. Looks delicious Yummy! I usually use Basmati rice. Please, witch one you think is best for Mexican rice that will look just like yours. I never put vegetables, but it seems to be very appetizing. I will make some this week, and let you know what i think. Thank you Chef...

Hi Laurette, You can use what ever rice you like to make this recipe. The key is to toast it in a dry pan until golden brown. This is what gives the rice its flavor and texture when it is cooked.

I tried this last night and it came out great but I put Lima beans instead but great recipe reminds me of home

The only problem with this video is the music is so dam good, you focus on the music and have to force your self back to watching the video. The rice looks great.

[@JustOneBitePlease]

Hello Sonicx5dr, it is nice to meet you. I'm glad you enjoyed the music and video. Thank you so much for taking the time to write and share your thoughts with us. Have a great day!

[@deloresmendoza7674]

Wow I add cooking oil to brown the rice, onion and garlic tomatoe sauce and just a pinch of cummins . I have never seen it made this way, seems like it takes longer to brown..... I know we ALL have our own way of cooking. :)

[@JustOneBitePlease]

Hello Delores, You are so right about cooking recipes. They are just a starting point in which anyone can improvise based on their own likes and experience. Thank you for taking time to comment. Have a great day!

[@luis25s]

I've always added oil to brown the rice. That's the way it has always been made by most people here in Mexico. I found it very shocking that in this recipe the rice was browned without any oil. I think that initial frying of the rice is essential for the most authentic taste. We almost never use extra-virgin olive oil, but just regular safflower or other neutral oil, and we would always add a sprig or two of cilantro with the pureed tomatoes.

im gone try this!! yeeej
