Ingredients:
- 2 cups chicken broth ( or 1 cup broth and 1 cup water )
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1/2 medium-size onion, (diced)
- 1/2 clove of garlic, (minced)
- 1 large jalapeno (chile pepper, seeds and membrane removed and finely chopped)
- 1 cup long-grain rice ((converted rice gives a great texture to the finished rice))
- 1 (14.5-ounce) can tomatoes, (diced)
- 1 tablespoon tomato paste
- Salt (to taste)
- Black pepper
How to cook:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- In a large saucepan over medium-high heat, bring the chicken broth or broth mixture to a simmer; reduce heat to low and let the broth simmer until ready to use.
- In a large oven-proof pot (cast-iron Dutch oven) works well for this) over medium-low heat, heat vegetable oil until hot. Add onion and saute, stirring constantly, approximately 5 minutes until onions becomes translucent but not brown. Add garlic and jalapeno chile pepper, stirring constantly until soft.
- Add rice, stirring constantly, until the rice just begins to brown. The rice will go from white to translucent and back to white again before it begins to brown. Once the rice is evenly browned, remove the pot from the heat and season salt and pepper to taste. Slowly and carefully add the hot chicken broth, tomatoes, and tomato paste, stirring to mix well.
- Oven Cooking:
- Cover the pot and place in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. If after 20 minutes, the water has not been absorbed and the rice is not soft, place the pot back in the oven and continue to cook for another 5 minutes.
- When the rice is done cooking, remove from the oven and let stand, covered, for at least 5 minutes to allow the rice to set.
- Stove Top Cooking:
- You will need an extra 1/2 to 1 cup of liquid if you are going to cook this rice on the stove top.
- To cook on the stove top, follow the above recipe except continue to cook on the stove top and add more liquid as needed.

Yields: 8 servings
Number of ingredients: 10
Ingredients:
- 3 cup(s) Rice ((we prefer Jasmine))
- 1 large Onion ((peeled and cut into quarters))
- 1 1/2 tsp(s) Garlic ((we prefer jarred roasted garlic))
- 1/2 tsp(s) Cummin ((add more to taste))
- 1 tsp(s) Dried Parsley
- 1/2 tsp(s) Dried Cilantro
- 1/2 tsp(s) Dried Oregano
- 1/2 tsp(s) Black Pepper
- 2 cup(s) Diced Fresh Tomatoes ((or 1 can of fire roasted tomatoes))
- 3 1/2 tbsp(s) Paulita's Green Chile Seasoning ((add more to taste))
How to cook:
- Preparation:
- Oil a 4 quart, heavy gauge pot with olive oil then add ¼ cup of olive oil to the pot. Add rice and onion and blanche on medium heat until rice is golden brown stirring frequently.
- Add all the other ingredients except for the Paulita's Green Chile Seasoning. Stir well and then add 3 ½ cups of hot water and bring to a boil. I pour the water through a splatter screen as it prevents a mess on my stove. Add Paulita's Green Chile Seasoning ½ tablespoon at a time stirring between additions. Taste for desired salt content and add more as needed.
- Cover tightly and lower heat to a simmer for 15-20 minutes. Do not stir or open lid (my husband is awful about this). Remove from heat and let sit for 5 minutes as the trapped steam will finish off cooking the rice.
- We serve straight from the pot though you can place the contents into a serving dish for more formal occasions.
