The Secret Ingredient for Killer Mexican Rice



And the rest of them

1# rice sauteed till golden, add onion/garlic and saute further, add in 1.5C tomato puree and 3C chicken broth, salt, cumin and whatever, bring to boil, reduce/cover and simmer till done.



Alas, no Money Shot as it was too hectic with the crowd at serving time

Never too late for a Money Shot

Looks fantastic well done Chilli.
I blew it and didn't take photos of my New Years dinner, I picked up a 7 bone rib roast.  Untrimmed, cut my 4 bone loin roast and put a nice rub on it, wrapped in Saran Wrap and refrigerated for a couple days.  Took the other three bones and sliced them into six rib eyes, vacuum sealed and into the freezer for later use.

Looks like bacon fat is the secret ingredient and I can eat that on a sandwich instead of mayo.

Bacon grease it is, and it is good.
