Abby's Gluten Free Mexican Rice
My Daughter requires a gluten free diet, and has not developed a taste for spicy foods just yet. After many tries, I finally developed a recipe she loves and goes back for more. Obviously, you can add as many other seasonings you like to spice it up, but if your little ones don't like Mexican or Spanish rice because they have to pick all the "stuff" out of it - they may just like this virtually plain version.
Ingredients:
1 1/2 cup Long Grain White Rice
8oz can Hunt's Tomato Sauce
2 Cups Filtered Drinking Water
Minced Garlic
Garlic Salt
Mrs Dash Table Blend (or your favorite blend)
Sea Salt
Directions:

8oz can Hunt's Tomato Sauce
2 Cups Filtered Drinking Water
Minced Garlic
Garlic Salt
Mrs Dash Table Blend (or your favorite blend)
Sea Salt
Directions:
- Rinse Rice in water. Continue until water is 90%+ clear. (This removes the starch, and produces a drier/fluffier end product that won't stick together).
- Light coating of Canola Oil in pan. Heat to Medium High. (On stove with Low-10 heat, I used an 8).
- Carefully add moist rice to pan and begin to brown the rice.
- Half way through the browning process, add Salt to taste.
- Light coating of Garlic Salt
- Couple dashes of Sea Salt
- Brown to desired color.
- Add 8oz Tomato Sauce.
- Followed immediately by 2 Cups Filtered Drinking Water.
- Now add seasonings (This cuts down on the “burnt seasoning” taste)
- Small amount of Minced Garlic
- Second Light coating of Garlic Salt
- VERY Light coating of Mrs Dash table blend
- Slowly stir to mix Rice, Sauce and Water.
- Set stove to Medium Low heat (On stove with Low-10 heat, I used a 4).
- Simmer covered for 5 minutes
- Stir rice to even out the sauce and level the rice.
- Set stove to Low heat (On stove with Low-10 heat, I used Low and a ½ - between the Low setting and the 1 setting).
- Simmer covered for approximately 10-15min (depending on stove and desired dryness).
- Remove from heat, let sit covered for 5 min.
- Fluff rice with fork and let sit uncovered for 5 min if too moist.
- EAT!!!
