How to Make Manuel's Rice

  1. Heat the olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
  2. Add 1 cup of uncooked long-grain rice and stir constantly for 2-3 minutes, until the grains are lightly toasted and fragrant.
  3. Strain the rice through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any excess oil. Return the rice to the saucepan.
  4. In a blender or food processor, combine the crushed tomatoes, chopped onion, and minced garlic. Blend until completely smooth.
  5. Pour the tomato mixture over the rice in the saucepan. Cook for about 5 minutes over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the rice is well coated and the mixture begins to thicken slightly.
  6. Add 1 3/4 cups of water and 1 teaspoon of salt (or to taste). Stir well to combine.
  7. Add the chopped fresh chiles (if using) and stir gently.
  8. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan, and cook for 25 minutes, or until all the water is absorbed and the rice is tender.
  9. Remove from heat and stir in the chopped parsley. Let it sit, covered, for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
