My co-workers at the hotel are largely from El Salvador. For a combined lunch, I volunteered to bring rice, and, after looking @ Spanish Rice and Mexican Rice recipes, wondered if there was El Salvadoran Rice. Found this recipe and made it. Thumbs up from the co-workers! A few things: (1) Yes, add a little minced jalapeños to taste. (2) I used boxed chicken broth since I had some on hand, instead of the water and bouillon. (3) When you're chopping/mincing the veggies, double-up and put the extras all together in a baggie or whatever. Then when you make the next batch, easy-peasy to get everything cooking. If you/family like it as much as I did, that will be soon! (4) Second batch, I didn't have any more fresh Roma tomatoes, so I put in about one tomato's worth from a can of tomato/chilies, saving the rest for, again, next batch. And squeeze out the liquid with the cut-off lid to include in the amount of liquid used. I'm eating this second batch for my off-day lunch -- doesn't even need meat, although chunked cooked meat of any kind could easily be added. Thanks for having this recipe available!!
