MEXICAN RICE
Don Pablo's Restaurant Recipe
Makes about 8 cups
1 (16 oz) box parboiled rice
1/2 cup diced bell pepper
1/2 cup diced onion
1/2 cup diced tomato
1 teaspoon powdered garlic
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1/4 teaspoon ground white pepper
1 teaspoon paprika
4 1/4 cups water or chicken broth
In a 6 quart saucepan, combine rice, bell pepper, onion, tomato, garlic, cumin, white pepper, paprika and chicken broth. Place pan over medium heat and bring mixture to a boil, stirring often to prevent sticking. When mixture boils, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for approximately 15-20 minutes without removing lid. Remove pan from heat and allow to stand covered for 5-10 minutes, or until all water is absorbed.
