Red Rice

My mom makes this all the time and my sister wrote the recipe down. This was also served at my wedding Reception.

Red Mexican Rice

1/4 cup oil

2 cups extra long grain rice

4 cups of water

1 tbsp of chicken bouillon

8 oz. tomato sauce

1 Jalapeno

1/2 small onion sliced in rings

can of corn, frozen peas (optional)

In a 3 qt pot, brown rice over medium heat with oil until it turns golden brown. Be sure to stir rice often so it doesn't burn. Add the water and bouillon and let it come to a boil. Stir in the tomato sauce, onion ring, corn, and Jalapeno, reduce heat to a simmer and put the lid on the pot. Let it cook until all the water has been absorbed and the rice is soft (usually 15 minutes). Uncover rice and fluff the rice with a spoon so it doesn't contine cooking
