Arroz Catum Recipes

ARROZ CALDO

Steps:

• Heat 2 1/2 tablespoons vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat; add 1 1/2 tablespoons garlic and cook until golden brown, about 3 minutes.
• Wash glutinous rice and jasmine rice in a bowl; rinse with water.
• Heat remaining 2 1/2 tablespoons vegetable oil in a large saucepan; cook red onion, ginger, and 1 1/2 tablespoons garlic until aromatic, about 3 minutes. Add chicken and cook until brown, about 15 minutes. Stir in rice; cook 1 minute more. Season with salt and pepper. Pour in chicken stock. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and let simmer, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes. Add more chicken stock if desired. Remove from heat.
• Mix in fish sauce. Top with eggs, green onion, and remaining toasted garlic.

ARROZ DE ATUM - CAPE VERDEAN RICE WITH TUNA

Steps:

• Drain the oil from the tuna, reserve the oil and set both the tuna and oil aside.
• Add about 3-4 tablespoons of the reserved oil to a deep pot or Dutch oven, then add the crushed garlic, onions and tomato. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes, until the onions are translucent and the tomato cooks down (you can break up the tomato with a wooden spoon if you would like as it's cooking).
• Add the seasonings and sauté everything for about 30 seconds, and then add the tuna. Use a wooden spoon to break the tuna apart slightly. I like to leave larger pieces of tuna intact.
• Add the olives, bay leaf and water, and bring the pot to a boil. Then, pour in your rice, stir it well until combined and then cover the pot. Let let the rice cook over a very low flame for 20-25 minutes. Do not mix or uncover the rice while it is cooking.
• At the 20 minute mark, taste the rice and if you are satisfied with the texture, turn the flame off, re-cover the pot with the lid, and let the rice rest for 5- 10 minutes. If you decide that the rice is not soft enough, let it continue to cook for another 5-10 minutes then turn the flame off and let the covered pot rest for an additional 5-10 minutes. Once the rice has rested, fluff it with a fork and serve.

ARROZ TAPADO (RICE-ON-TOP)

Steps:

• Bring the rice and 4 cups of water to a boil in a saucepan over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the rice is tender, and the liquid has been absorbed, 20 to 25 minutes.
• Place the egg into a saucepan, and cover with water by 1 inch. Cover the saucepan and bring the water to a boil over high heat. Once the water is boiling, remove from the heat and let the egg stand in the hot water for 15 minutes. Pour out the hot water, then cool the egg under cold running water in the sink. Peel once cold. Chop the egg and set aside in a small bowl.
• Heat 1 cup of vegetable oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Deep fry the potato cubes until golden brown, about 5 minutes; drain on paper towels, and set aside.
• Place tomatoes and 1/2 cup of water in a blender, and puree until tomatoes are liquefied (peel and seed first, if desired).
• Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat, and cook and stir the onion, garlic, aji chile powder, cumin, black pepper, and oregano until the onion begins to brown, 8 to 10 minutes; pour in the pureed tomatoes, and simmer for 5 more minutes, stirring often. Mix in the ground beef and carrots, and cook until the meat is no longer pink and the carrots are tender, about 10 minutes. Break the meat up into small chunks as it cooks. Mix in the chopped hard-cooked egg, peas, and peanut butter until thoroughly combined. Finally, gently stir in the cubes of fried potato.
• To assemble the dish, oil a flexible plastic bowl (at least 1 cup size) and press cooked rice into the bottom to fill 1/3 of the bowl. Layer about 3/4 inch of meat mixture over the rice, and top with more cooked rice to fill the bowl. With an oiled hand, gently press on the rice to compact the mixture; place a serving plate on top of the bowl, flip, and turn out the rice and meat-filled form. Repeat with remaining ingredients. Garnish with sprinkles of cilantro, chopped tomato, and dollops of ketchup on each serving.
