A delightful twist on classic Mexican rice, this recipe combines the rich flavors of tomatoes and garlic with perfectly cooked rice for a satisfying side dish.
Blend the garlic and tomatoes in a blender until smooth.
Blending the ingredients ensures a smooth and even flavor distribution.
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
Ensure the oil is hot enough to sizzle when the rice is added.
Add the rice to the skillet and toast it until it turns golden brown.
Stir constantly to prevent the rice from burning.
Pour in the blended tomato mixture and water, then season with salt and pepper.
Stir well to combine all the ingredients evenly.
Cover the skillet with a lid, reduce the heat to low, and let it simmer until the liquid is absorbed, about 15 minutes.
Avoid lifting the lid during cooking to ensure the rice cooks evenly.
Fluff the rice with a fork before serving.
Fluffing the rice prevents it from clumping together and enhances its texture.
