    This was a good basic Mexican rice. I think what it was missing was some tomato sauce maybe or even some fresh chopped cilantro stirred in the last few minutes. It's a 4 star recipe :)

    Steps

    1
    Done

    Rinse Rice Under Cold Water Until Water Begins to Run Clear of Starch.

    2
    Done

    in Saucepan or Large Skillet With Lid (preferably Non-Stick) Heat Oil Over Medium Heat. Add Drained Rice and Fry Until Lightly Browned, About 5 Minutes, Stirring Occasionally to Prevent Burning.

    3
    Done

    in the Meantime, Add Next 5 Ingredients (not Mixed Veggies) to a Blender and Blend Until Smooth.

    4
    Done

    When Rice Is Done Frying, Drain Excess Oil.

    5
    Done

    Add Tomato Pure to Rice and Continue Frying About 5 More Minutes, Stirring Frequently to Prevent Burning. Add Water and Stir to Separate Lumps of Rice.

    6
    Done

    Taste Broth to Check For Salt. It Should Almost Taste Too Salty Because the Rice Will Soak Up a Lot of Salt and Still Come Out Bland. Drain Can of Vegetables (or Canned Peas and Carrots) and Add to Broth.

    7
    Done

    Stir.

    8
    Done

    Bring to a Boil. Cover and Lower Flame to Low and Cook For 20 Minutes or Until All Broth Is Absorbed--Do not Lift Lid For 20 Minutes. (this Was My Major Mistake When I Was Learning to Make This Dish. I Would Check It Halfway Through and All the Steam Would Escape. used to Even--Gasp!--Stir It Halfway Through! Don't Do This Unless You Want a Big Gloppy Mess For Dinner).
