A flavorful and vibrant rice dish inspired by traditional Mexican cuisine, perfect as a side or main course.
Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear.
Rinsing removes excess starch, preventing the rice from becoming sticky.
Blend the tomatoes, onion, garlic, and chili until smooth.
Blending ensures a consistent texture for the sauce.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat and sauté the rice until lightly golden.
Stir constantly to prevent the rice from burning.
Pour the blended tomato mixture into the skillet and cook until the liquid is mostly absorbed.
Cooking the mixture enhances the flavors of the sauce.
Add 2 cups of water, salt, and green peas to the skillet. Cover and simmer until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed.
Avoid stirring too much to keep the rice grains intact.
Fluff the rice with a fork, garnish with cilantro, and serve.
Fluffing with a fork prevents the rice from clumping together.
