You mean the rice no one eats?
Came out perfect ! Thanks
Okay, so I watched this recipe video assuring myself that this would not be authentic and boy was I surprised.This is the most authentic recipe I have seen on youtube. All the people saying he forgot the cumin are wrong. I have never had rice with cumin unless I am eating at a Tex-Mex restaurant. The best part is that I learned that a mason jar can be used on a blender! I will now be making my salsas in a mason jar and storing them in the same jar. This is awesome!
I’ve never been able to make rice and FINALLY, with this recipe, I was able to pull it off perfectly. And it’s delicious! Thanks!
I made this rice and it turned out perfect I will definitely make this again
Made this, it was super good!!! I added a 1/4tsp of cumin though and it was a good addition.
I use very little oil and i use tomato sauce…about half a can. I'll try this too.
Thank you
This recipe is pretty good…….nice and fluffy………….just dont eat beans or you will fluffy..
That’s how my mom makes her rice and guess what she’s Mexican and her rice is the best! Sometimes she’ll purée tomatoes instead of using tomato paste but I personally like the concentrated flavor the paste gives it. Call me crazy but I think olive oil changes the flavor because of the smoke point. I use canola oil for this recipe.
I knew the name of your pan as soon I seen it.. Royal Lol 😂 when I want to make Red rice I make it exactly like this but with a lil more caldo de pollo.. Its delicious 😋
Thank you!
I love rice, I am looking forward to preparing this recipe!
Good recipe..thank you
I made it !! It was so good! But I had to use tomato sauce and red onion cuz i didn't have anything this else at home, still YUMMY! Thank you so MUCH!! Your so nice!
I make this all the time now you have shared it.. i love it.. comes out amazing every time.. 😀 i liked it a while back just forgot to comment 🙂
Does doubling the recipie change cooking times?
Thank you 🤗 Can I use broth??
Mexican rice is gross, and tainted with mercury.
I approve of this, my tia showed me how to make this and this is how she makes it
FINALLY! I found the perfect spanish rice recipe! Tastes just like Taco Bells. Thanks you, Crackerjack!!
HOT WATER IS WHAT REALLY CAUSES RICE TO COME FLUFFY, also you can add a pinch of Cumin and black pepper, some people (me) I add frozen carrots/peas, after you add the water!
If you rinse the rice before your rice won't be sticky. It'll be individual grains.
That's why you wash it. To get off the dust that turns into glue later in the cooking process
Where I live, I can't find Morelos rice… which would be the best type to substitute with that won't clump but will absorb the recaudo (tomato sauce) properly??
It's called Spanish Rice … NOT Mexican Rice …
Is it spicy hot my wife don't like spicy
1 tablespoon of tomato paste got doubled upon entry, spoiler alert : secret ingredient is MSG.
Dude watch ur words, not EVERY Mex restaurant, not ALL Mex rice! Everyone has their own version that is not this bland shit! Looks gross and over cooked!
Holy cow so happy right now. Accidentally left the pot on low heat and didn’t notice till about 2min of resting. Still delicious. Thank you!
Never measure water to rice ratio's with numbers! Thats how you ruin rice. No matter how much rice you have, the correct amount of water is always to your first knuckle of your index finger. The only time this isnt true is when you are cooking sushi rice.
Thank you to all you Wonderful People…i have been eating like a King!!
You’re invited to the carne asada 🥰
Who else thinks he sounds like Kevin Malone from The Office
( ka- al-doh) caldo de pollo
Thank you
Now I know how to make rice.
The right way.
thank you…
This tastes exactly like the rice at our mexican restaurant I go to a lot. They do actual mexican food and it isn’t americanized.
absolutely rinse your mouse pee covered rice. not even optional.
Delicious! I added a bag of corn and a pay of peas & carrots! Turned out Great! I’ve been on a hunger for this recipe for years and you got it spot on! I told the Mexican restaurant I’d keep buying from them until I found one and they sent me to youtube lmao!
What happened to the peas and carrots that go I side it?
That’s good rice but it’s Chicano rice not Mexican rice. My grandma makes chicken stock and seasons it for the rice and she blends whole tomatoes she also frys onion and garlic with the rice than adds all the liquids.
You make it just like my grandma !!!! Yay . She calls the red sauce " recaudo " lol
ugh i can't get the spice i'll order it but what flavor!? there is chicken beef and tomato flavors
Thank u i will try this tomorrow thanks
Looks like Uncle Ben's to me🤣
No cilantro? Blended sauce? How do you think we made our rice before Knorr made that flavored salt?
Made this the other day. Turned out PERFECT. Thanks for sharing the recipe!!!!!
I’m a sucker for Mexican rice and my mom could never make it. Never thought to YouTube it. Made it on my own and I’m impressed how accurate this recipe is! I never need to ask my friends moms to make me rice to go! ❤️❤️
