I made it once and liked it and remade it with a little more onion, a half a bay leaf and used olive oil. Now it is something I will make on a regular basis.I've cooked/tasted this recipe!This is a variation

- August 6, 2013well I learned this from an Hispanic friend in a blender add half to a whole onion, about three cloves of garlic three Roma tomatoes(or a can of tomato sauce), 2 heaping tbsp. of Consomme', cover with water and blend. Depends on how many you cooking for, three cups of rice in a sauce pan and brown with vegetable oil, and add blender mixture
February 5, 2013Who in asia would not want to learn a different variety of rice dish? Of course I like to too! This sounds delicious...!
