Authentic Mexican Rice

Apple Cake

This delectable Apple Cake has a slightly crunchy crust and a soft moist center that is loaded with chunks of sweet apple and pecans. It is perfectly spiced with cinnamon, ground cloves and nutmeg. It is lightly drizzled with an easy four ingredient caramel sauce. I make this cake several times each fall for bake sales, potlucks and family and friend get-togethers.

Easy Ratatouille

This easy ratatouille recipe is a classic summer French stew filled with vibrant, colourful and nutritious vegetables: tomatoes, zucchini and eggplant. It is a low-carb, gluten-free and vegan dish that can be made in one pan and served atop greens or grains, as a side to a main entrée, or all on its own.

Liked the recipe a lot. Made a few modifications because I prefer a dryer Mexican rice as well. Here are some of the modifications made. Rinsed the rice off in a strainer to remove excess starch, then fried the rice until a light sand color. Then only used a 1.5 cups of water per cup or rice. Once the water/tomato bouillon was poured into the pan I covered it and turned it down to low and cooked for 15 minutes. Do not remove the cover during this 15 minutes or you will be very unhappy with your rice. Then took off heat and let sit for 5 to 10 minutes (still had not removed the cover) after which I fluffed the rice. Each grain of rice had burst open and showed no tendency to clump. This is now my Mexican go to recipe. Thank you stephs1018(Eccentric Kitchen).

We really liked this. I think it was the best recipe I have tried so far. I couldn’t get the rice dry enough, it was almost sticky, but I will definately make this again.
