[@firedriver8367]

I just add reg. Chicken bullion , Cumin , pinch salt and a can of Tomato sauce add 2 cups Chicken stock for every cup of rice.

[@MG-ot2yr]

More flavor if you add onion and garlic, and use equal parts chicken bullion and tomato buillion. And even more flavor if you put a whole jalepeno on top the rice as it steams.

[@petergarcia1334]

So say I wanted two cups of rice that would be 4 cups of water and 2 cans of tomato sauce

[@firedriver8367]

@petergarcia1334 you can use 1 can or 2 cover with a glass lid and lower the flame till liquid starts to dry up , turn off fire.

[@MG-ot2yr]

@@petergarcia1334 I think its too high of a liquid amount, it will make a runny rice. If you like rice on the drier side, use about 1 3/4 cup of liquid for every cup of rice, and that includes the tomato sauce, I usually measure the broth (or water) with the tomato sauce, and not add the tomato sauce as an extra liquid amount. Also I use an enameled cast iron pot for rice, start it on the stove, once liquid is up to a boil, put the lid on and put it in a 350 degree oven for about 15-20 minutes. Remove from oven, but keep lid on and let it continue to steam another 10 or so.

[@YvonneS]

I agree on the liquid portion. I always include the tomato sauce, bouillon into my 2 cups per cup of rice. Comes out perfect every time. My family and friends always designate me to make the rice when it’s pot luck time:)

[@MustyChef]

Looks great and delicious😊

[@jjgems5909]

That looks good. Personally our family liked to chop the onion and cook it with the rice. And leave the garlic crushed but whole and cook it with the rice and remove them once done. Sometimes we use tomato sauce or paste if we have it on hand and we don’t feel like doing the extra step of blending. My 85 year old Mexican grandma and my Aunts even uses a can of paste or sauce, it’s not a big deal. Some people feel more special blending it themselves but tomato sauce is literally the same thing puréed tomato lol and Tomato paste is concentrated tomato. You can find both in any Mexican super market, el super, Cardenas, north gate, Baja ranch. I’m in CA. And we LOVE that tomate bouillon! Literally good on everything. But for the rice usually just the regular one. Overall it looks good 👍

[@jjgems5909]

And some people will blend the tomatoes with the onion and garlic and pour that into the rice.

[@Rhaspun]

Yes the onions add to the flavor. The recipe is really flexible as to what you can add. Sometimes I'll throw in small bits of chicken to be cook along with the rice.

[@juanorozco1971]

But doing it fresh does taste better though I don't mind the sauce at all but fresh is always better

[@Kingfamily702]

[@Ih8danhumphrey]

I loterally just watched a short right above this, a latina woman shared her recipe and the difference is real. She blended a fresh tomato with the onion and garlic, and also let the rice soak it up before she added hot water and a jalapeño shit looked fire

[@nenem.5165]

It looks like she removed them. Only flavored the oil with them

[@carlozcabrera]

i hate having burnt onion and garlic in the rice. lmao so i cook it like this as well. its just so ugly! id rather blend tomato, garlic, and onion into the broth i use.

[@EpicAlcatraz99]

[@Venusmoder]

I reccomend browning the tomato paste in the pan before adding the stock, browned tomato paste has a wonderful flavor 😋 (Also also if you chop the onion finely you can keep it in the rice so you dont waste anything. You can also use a garlic crusher but you would need to wait until the end because it burns quickly)

There's so many variations. You can also add a half or full can of el pato hot tomato sauce, add a can of corn, green beans, peas, etc. Add a spritz of lime, cilantro etc. Only real criticism I have is to finely chop the onion, and garlic and leave it in there.
