Рецепт Cuban Style Yellow Rice (Vegan recipe)
The second Cuban dish I made for #Food of the World challenge is this quick, simple and delicious Cuban style Yellow rice. Recipe is from All recipes and it needs just a few ingredients.
Rice gets its yellow color from annatto seed powder and paprika. Annatto is an orange-red condiment and food coloring derived from the seeds of the achiote tree. It imparts a yellow or orange color to foods and is also used to give flavor and aroma to dishes.
Yellow rice is a staple in the Caribbean because of its color and flavor. Both the kids loved this mild tasting rice and it tasted yummy with the Cuban black beans.
Ingredients: Serves 2~3
- Rice - 1cup
- Onion -1 small, finely chopped
- Annatto seed powder - ⅛tsp
- Paprika - ¼tsp
- Green peas - ½cup
- Salt & Pepper - to taste
Method:
Rinse and drain rice.
Combine rice, 2cups of water, onion, annatto powder, paprika, salt and pepper in a saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil.
Lower the heat, cover and simmer for 15~20 minutes or until all of the water is absorbed and rice is tender. Stir in the peas 5~7 minutes before the rice is completely cooked through. Turn off the heat and let it rest for 5~10 minutes before serving.
