Mexican-Style Rice
A distinguished culinary classic crafted with authentic techniques and finest ingredients, offering rich depth of flavour and elegant presentation.
Ingredients
- • 200 g rice
- • 1/2 onion (peeled and diced)
- • 1/2 red chilli (deseeded and finely diced)
- • 1/2 green pepper (deseeded and diced)
- • 100 g frozen peas
- • 1 tbsp paprika
- • 1 tbsp cumin
- • 1 tbsp ground coriander
- • 1 pinch cayenne pepper
- • 1 vegetable stock cube
- • 1 dash hot sauce (optional)
- • low-calorie cooking spray
- • 1 dash hot sauce (optional)
- • 10 g fresh coriander (chopped)
- • 1 lime ((juice only))
Preparation Steps
Cook the rice according to the packet instructions, adding the stock cube to the water before cooking. Once the rice is cooked, place it to one side.
Spray a frying pan with low-calorie cooking spray, and set on a low heat. Add the onion, chilli, and pepper, and fry gently for 5-8 minutes – until the vegetables have softened.
Add the cooked rice and peas to your pan, then sprinkle over the paprika, cumin, coriander, and cayenne pepper. Stir well to mix everything together.
If you’re using hot sauce, add a dash to your pan and stir again. Before serving, sprinkle over the coriander and a squeeze of lime juice. If you’re feeling daring, add some extra fresh chopped chillies!
