Mexican-Style Banza Rice
A grain-free version of classic Mexican-restaurant rice.
Ingredients
- 1 8oz. package Banza Rice
- 2 tbsp butter
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 3 cups chicken broth
- 3 tbsp tomato paste
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp celery salt
- 1/2 tsp ground cumin
- 1/2 tsp ground pepper (I used white pepper)
- 1/3 cup salsa of choice
Instructions
- Melt the butter over medium heat in a medium size saucepan. Add minced garlic and saute for about 30 seconds. Add the package of Banza rice, and the seasonings (except salsa) and saute while stirring for about 1 minute.Pour in chicken broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until almost all of the liquid is gone. Stir in the salsa, remove from heat and let stand for 5 min. Fluff with a fork and enjoy!
Notes
My favortie salsa to use with this recipe is Pepita Salsa from Trader Joes. It's rich with a nice little kick that's good on nachos or anything else!
