| Portorrican Rice
Posted: 4/18/2007 10:09:40 AM | | Has anyone every heard of portorrican rice? My girlfriend hasn't had it in years and I cna't seem to find a recipe for it. I would think it would be some slight variation on spanish rice because she said that it was orangish in color and it was a more dry type of rice. If anyone has a recipe for it, or knows if it goes under a different name, could you please send it to me or post it? Thank you so much! | |

Wash rice well, let stand. Fry until golden brown, add some tomatos, garlic, chiles, cilantro, onion and cook till soft. Add liquid - chicken stock and/or water and cook normally till done.
My favorite is Mexican green rice done in the same way but with poblano chiles, italian parsly, cilantro, garlic and onions. | |

Some color may come from Annatto which slightly reddish
or Azafrán (also known as saffron) which slightly yellow.
Yellow and red will give that orange color your looking for | |

Posted: 4/20/2007 12:39:06 PM | | I thought that it was Puerto Rican rice, but when I looked up recipes for it she said that wasn't it. Apparently, it is in fact a dish called Portorrican Rice and that's how she said it was spelled. She also said it was more of a brownish orange color. Thank you everyone for your input though. | |

I spent 10 years in the New Jersey, New York area eating rice dishes
made by numerous beautiful Latin American ladies from various countries.
I'm out of ideas for you. | |
