Hi! I found your site after checking out your cookbook from my local library. Problem: I don’t want to turn it back in! I will have to purchase it soon:) I made the rice recipe (red) and the refried beans and my family all enjoyed…a rare thing! This rice recipe looks very similar to yours I may try the changes just for fun. Thanks!

This takes rice to a whole new level. I agree with Pati that it will keep in the frig for a day. I’m also trying freezing it in and I may use some chickenstock plus lime juice to refresh it. There are only the two of us, so this makes enough to also become a welcomed left over.

Pati, Thank you again for this site! I have been combing your recipes and copying them, since I did not write my Moms recipes down. This was the rice she always made and my sons favorite. In season we top it with fresh, sliced cantelope. My Mom’s parents were from Spain and she always ate it like this. It adds a cool sweetness to the rice.
Muchisimas Gracias por tus recetas. Me has dado alegria…
Mimi

Pati – I recently found your site and have added it to my favs. You suggested using Goya sauce in a recipe and I made the switch when I made sopa. WOW what a wonderful difference. Thank you and I’ll look forward to visiting your site again and again.
