Here’s a recipe on how to make Red Rice. It’s one of the first foods my mom taught me how to make. Actually it’s second to making flour tortillas (that will be on another post).
I have an aunt that would also make red rice. Did not like the way hers would taste. I don’t know exactly how she would make it. But I am sure she would only use regular tomato sauce those that come is the small cans.
I believe the secret to making good this rice is the sauce. Using whole peeled can tomatoes, a small piece of onion and one or two garlic cloves. You mix in the blender and you got yourself a good sauce for your rice.
This rice goes great with my Slow Cooked Beef Stew Meat with Red Rice
