directions

  • If using long grain rice, put in a wire mesh strainer and rinse off for 3 minutes under cold water and let drain completely. If using instant rice, just put it in the pot then add rest of ingredients and follow basic directions on box but let it sit for an additional 5 minutes over time directions state.
  • If using long grain rice, put water and salsa and cumin in saucepan. Add drained long grain rice and stir. Bring to a boil and reduce heat to medium to medium low. Cover and don't peek for 25 minutes. Check rice and see if it is tender. If not, recover and let sit for an additional 5-10 minutes.
  • My salsa is mild. If you like your rice spicier, add some cayenne or use a hotter style of salsa.
  • I have also made this with brown instand rice and it is also very good!

<img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/adoptedspring08.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> I LOVE to cook. I collect recipes and recipe books. I have close to 800, and 5 large boxes of handwritten pages, or magazine pages or just cards. I have wanted to own my own restaurant since I was 14. I have 25 years restaurant management experience and own a small catering business now in addition to my regular job. It is called "The Chopper Chowline", with "We cater to Bikers Bellies" as our slogan. We are the ONLY catering business that caters to Biker groups solely. After months of research, other catering businesses cater to bikers, but to others as well. Our catering business we ONLY cater to Bikers. And boy do they like good food and different food. We also cook for several groups when we go to Biker Runs for Charity etc. It is a wonderful experience and FUN! Still praying for my restaurant though.
