1 ½ cups water

2 tablespoons canned jellied cranberry sauce

½ cup dried cranberries

salt and ground black pepper to taste

¼ cup chopped toasted pecans

Easy Authentic Mexican Rice

Side Dish

Directions

Step 1

Bring the brown rice and 1 1/2 cup of water to a boil in a saucepan over high heat. Reduce the heat to medium-low cover and simmer until the rice is tender and almost all the liquid has been absorbed 45 to 50 minutes. Mash the cranberry sauce in a small bowl with a fork until almost smooth and stir the sauce into the brown rice mixing well to tint the rice a slight pink color. Cover and let steam for about 5 minutes.

Step 2

Place the dried cranberries into a microwave-safe bowl and cook on high setting in a microwave oven just until hot about 30 seconds. Stir the cranberries into the rice. Season to taste with salt and black pepper; serve sprinkled with pecans.
