Mexican style rice in the rice cooker
I'm not sure if this is working or not. My rice cooker keeps turning to warm and I KNOW it can't be done yet ... but I suppose I will get up and check on it. Since I'm making these sour cream enchiladas for dinner, thought I'd get some rice done and out of the way this morning. Rinsed 2 cups of rice til clear. Dumped rice into the rice cooker bowl. Took lid off a can of fire roasted tomatoes. Grabbed my NEW immersion blender, stuck it in the can and let that baby rip. Woohoo! That was a cheap thrill for the morning! Dumped 2 1/2 cups of tomato-y stuff in with rice (by the way, 1 can measured 2 1/2 cups worth). Mixed it up a little. Added a dash of water (less than 1/4 cup) ... and fired it up. Flipped back to cook 2 times. Probably done now. *note: the cup measurements are the rice maker cup ... MY rice cup is really 2/3 of a REAL measurement so follow the directions of the rice package OR your rice maker, don't mix and match - which is what I did*...
