Caribbean Yellow Rice
Ingredients
  • 4 cups long grain rice
  • 8 cups water
  • 1 small onion, minced
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon annatto powder
  • 1/8 teaspoon paprika
  • black pepper to taste
  • 1 cup frozen peas, thawed
  • 1 (4 ounce) jar sliced pimento peppers, for garnish
Instructions
1
Begin by pouring the rice into a fine-mesh strainer and thoroughly washing it under cold running water until the water becomes crystal clear. Gently shake the strainer to remove any remaining moisture from the rice.
2
Next, combine the rice in a substantial saucepan with a lid that fits snugly and add water. Mix in the chopped onion, salt, annatto powder, paprika, and pepper to create a flavorful blend. Place the saucepan over medium-high heat and bring the mixture to a rolling boil. Gradually decrease the heat to low, cover the pan with a lid, and let it simmer.
3
Allow the mixture to cook for 10 minutes before carefully incorporating the peas into the rice. Continue cooking until all the water has evaporated and the rice is tender, requiring an additional 15 to 20 minutes. Finally, serve the dish garnished with slices of pimento.
