Time 1h30m

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 medium ripe tomatoes, or 1 small can (15 ounces) diced tomatoes, undrained
1 small yellow onion, root end trimmed and quartered
2 cloves garlic, roughly chopped
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 cups long-grain brown rice (do not rinse!)
1 medium jalapeño pepper, seeded and finely chopped (scale back or omit if sensitive to spice)
2 1/2 cups vegetable broth
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1 teaspoon salt, to taste
1/2 cup finely chopped fresh cilantro
Red pepper flakes, optional, for extra heat
1 lime, sliced into wedges, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. In a food processor or blender, combine the tomatoes, onion and garlic, and blend until smooth. In a liquid measuring cup, measure out 2 cups of the tomato mixture and discard the rest.
  • Warm the olive oil in a medium Dutch oven* over medium heat until shimmering. Add the rice and jalapeño and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Add the vegetable broth (watch out for splatters), tomato mixture, tomato paste (add a little extra if you're using fresh tomatoes that aren't super flavorful), and salt. Stir to combine, then increase the heat to medium-high and bring the mixture to a boil.
  • Cover the pot with the lid and carefully transfer it to the oven. Bake until the liquid is absorbed (the rice will look dry when you take off the lid, but don't worry) and the rice is tender, about 1 hour 15 minutes to 1 hour 30 minutes, stirring halfway through cooking.
  • Stir in the cilantro and season to taste with additional salt, if necessary (I often add another 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon). If you'd like spicier rice, add a pinch of red pepper flakes and stir again. Serve with lime wedges on the side.

MEXICAN BROWN RICE



Mexican Brown Rice image

Delicious as a side dish to Mexican fare or as a vegetarian taco filling. Easy, cheap and healthy with tons of flavor. My extremely picky boyfriend not only ate this but actually complimented me on it! You may use fresh onion if you like but picky bf doesn't like it so I use the powder. This is also nice garnished with fresh cilantro if you have it.
