3. Still Hungry?
This is an excellent authentic Mexican rice recipe (not to be confused with Spanish rice) that I make as a side dish with all of my Mexican dishes. The key is cooking the rice properly and using good quality chicken broth or stock.

Sounds good
Roni F - August 4, 2007 05:41:30 AM PSTThis recipe is very similar to the recipe used by my Aunt Febe as i was growing up in a home of 12 in San Diego, Texas. We usually sauteed the veggies and 2 tbsp of broth with the "browning" rice to bring out their flavors more. Then we would add the remaining broth to boil. Sounds close enough, though. So many people cut corners by using salsa but it's just not the same. Thanks!
