Mexican Mushroom Rice

We also eat a lot of rice at our house, especially with Mexican food.  One of my favorite rice recipes is for Lime Cilantro Rice, which i will post it next week.

I also love the red rice you get in most Mexican restaurants.  The only problem is I haven’t been able to find a recipe for that type of rice that I really like.  I usually end up going to our local neighborhood Mexican restaurant and buying rice to go with what I am fixing for dinner.

We had fabulous fajitas for dinner last night so I tried out the rice recipe, will be posting soon.

So I think I finally have found a Mexican rice recipe to post!  Enjoy!

• 1  Cup Rice
• 2 Cup chicken broth
• 1 small can tomato juice

INSTRUCTIONS

Mexican Mushroom Rice

• Heat oil in a skillet,Saute the mushrooms for 3 minutes and keep it aside
• Heat oil in a skillet
• Add the rice
• Stir frequently and slightly brown the rice (more like, make it tan) over a medium high heat
• Add the chicken broth
• Add the tomato juice and sauted mushroom
• Add some salt and pepper
• Stir thoroughly
• Reduce heat to simmer and cover tightly with a lid
• (I 'stir' the mixture several times while it's cooking by just shaking/moving the skillet back and forth so that I don't take the lid off.)
• Simmer/cook for about 20 minutes, until the liquid has been absorbed
• Once the liquid has been absorbed, turn off the heat and leave mixture alone with the lid on it for another 10-15 minutes or so
