Rice with Meat (Arroz con carne)
Ingredients:15 oz. of rice; 3 oz. of chicken, cut into
strips; 3 oz. of beef, cut into strips; a small can of roasted
red pepper, cut into small dice; 2 small cans of
mushrooms, drained and sliced; 1 carrot, cut into
brunoise; lemon; 2 tbsp of tomato sauce; 1. 2 l of a light
chicken stock; 1 leek stalk; 2 garlic cloves, sliced.
Preparation: Sauté first the carrot, the leek and the
garlic for a few mins, then add the meats (with a pinch of
salt) and continue the cooking process for some more
time. Add the rice and stir to mix it with all the previous
ingredients, and next add the stock (hot) (In general the
amount of stock is double than that of rice, plus a little
more). Simmer the preparation for 5 mins, add the
pepper, the mushrooms, and continue the simmering for
another 10 mins. This last process can be done in the
oven (using of course a casserole). Remove from the
oven, check the salt, let it sit for two mins, and serve with
a thick wedge of lemon.
