About

This rice is a terrific accompaniment to dishes like Mole Poblano, Asado de Puerco, Costillas en Salsa Verde, and many other traditional Mexican stews. It also makes a nice, quick dinner with a fried egg on top and some fried plantains. The preparation of this rice varies from region to region, but the end result is the same.
