It’s so interesting to see different cultures having almost the same dish with different names. I’m Egyptian and we make this rice also with tomato sauce, onions and lots of spices (all varies according to different family traditions and preference ofc) but ours is made with short-grained rice instead. It’s typically served with fish and seafood in general and it’s incredibly delicious!

[@TheMariemarie16]

I'm black but I grew up making a rice dish very similar to this. I call it mushroom rice. I brown the dry unwashed rice in butter or margarine for 5 mins with diced onion or until about half of the rice is browned just as shown in this video. Then once I'm ready I add the chicken bouillon just as shown in this video and make sure it's evenly mixed with the rice and I also add a can of mushrooms sliced or diced. Any type of mushroom is OK. Bring to a rolling boil on high heat and then turn down low and cover until rice is cooked. Can top with green onion if desired. Yummy. Funny that the few times I have tried Mexican rice it hasn't turned out too well and now I see it's almost exactly the same as something that I been making since I was a kid. I will try again soon.

and probably where this recipe originated, the Spanish came to America with rice, onions and garlic and the Mexicans contributed the tomato, and it must be derived from the Spanish paella, the difference is the tomato, since at the beginning the Spanish did not eat tomato because they believed it was poisonous, until they learned from the natives

It's so fascinating how humans have so much similarities, I am Egyptian, my grandma makes this rice with a little bit of twist, she roasts the rice then adds fresh tomato juice and some chicken stock for falvor, she usually have some diced onions in the tomato sauce as well, my favorite ingredient is the eggs she breaks inside the rice while it is cooking, we don't eat runny yolks but it is on the softer side not hard. Fun part is I don't think she even knows where mexico is. BTW this recipe is really really old, new generations don't know much about it unfortunately.

[@averysunniemagpie8958]

add some toasted cumin and the garlic after combining in a molcajete, it's bomb~ (we make it nearly the same, save for the chile and lime)

If it's "Mexican Rice" there's NO Lemon or Lime in it. And the rice is toasted to a light brown then add minced onion and cook a minute longer. Press a clove of garlic and stir in. Add chicken stock mixed with ½ teaspoon of Cumin, tomato sauce and Chicken flavor Knorr bouillon. You can add water if needed, bring to boil then cover and cook on low for 20 minutes. Turn off heat.

Mexican and Spanish rice IS Jollof Rice lol. Rice does not come from Europe or the New World. The Moors brought rice to the Iberian Peninsula and slaves brought rice to the New World by weaving grains into their hair (cornrows). Inversely, tomatoes come from the New World and did not exist in Europe before they came to the “New World”. Now, you gotta ask yourself how Africans got their hands on tomatoes before the Europeans if Europeans allegedly discovered the “New World”.

The Spanish adopted a rice dish could probably be jollof rice brought to Spain by the Moors. Paella is sort of a derivative of jollof rice. But making any kind of comparisons to jollof Rice on here is fighting words to some so be careful. It's hard not to see the connection the jollof rice a red rice dish made with tomatoes introduced buy the Moors to to the Spanish peninsula the who eventually sailed across the ocean and brought their recipe of rice and tomatoes to Mexico who then came up with their own twist.

​@@elias378Hello Nice to meet you Please Explain your comment

[@dailybibleverses1995]

What brand rice do you use

[@travellolo]

Always use long grain rice

[@TheNester.]

Jasmine rice comes out great. You can also use long grain.

I love it lol “lime or lemon, doesn’t matter as long as it’s lemon”

[@mochi4926]

Pro Tip: use a can opener on both ends of the tomato paste can. Take the top end off, and then push the bottom lid through the can, like a push pop. It removes all of the tomato paste from the can so easily

[@inchefnito6737]

Lime juice or lemon juice it doesn't matter,as long as it's lemon

[@marilynem5979]
