Mexican Rice

Mexican  Rice

INGREDIENTS:-

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 large white onion, chopped

4 garlic cloves, minced

1 tablespoon minced seeded serrano chiles

2 cups long-grain white rice

3 1/4 cups low-salt chicken broth

3/4 teaspoon salt

Cilantro Dressing

Method:-

Heat oil in large saucepan over medium heat. Add onion, garlic, and serrano; sauté until onion is translucent, about 9 minutes. Mix in rice; stir 2 minutes. Mix in broth and salt; bring to boil. Reduce heat to low; cover and cook until rice is just tender and broth is absorbed, about 15 minutes. Remove from heat. Let stand, covered, 5 minutes.

Transfer rice to bowl; cool to barely lukewarm, stirring occasionally, about 1 1/2 hours. Add 1/2 cup Cilantro Dressing to rice; toss to coat. Season with salt and pepper. (Can be prepared 2 hours ahead. Let stand at room temperature.)
