Presentation

Serve Mexican red rice after letting it rest for 5 minutes to allow it to absorb any remaining moisture.

Tips

Use two tablespoons of vegetable oil for every cup of rice to keep the rice from sticking and to brown it evenly. Drain rice to remove excess oil before adding the cooking liquid.
