Chamorro Staple, Feista Food Red Rice ### Ingredients

2 cups of jasmine rice
2 ½ cups of chicken broth (or water)
2 tablespoons of achiote powder (or 2-3 achiote seeds)
2 tablespoons of vegetable oil
4 cloves of garlic, minced
1 medium-sized onion, diced
1 bell pepper, diced (red or green for color)
1 teaspoon of salt (adjust to taste)
1 tablespoon of soy sauce (optional)
Chopped green onions for garnish

Instructions

Rinse the jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear. This helps to remove excess starch and results in fluffier rice.
In a large saucepan, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and diced onions, sautéing until fragrant and the onions are translucent.
Add the achiote powder (or achiote seeds) and diced bell pepper to the pan. Stir for about a minute to release the colors and flavors.
Pour in the chicken broth (or water) and bring it to a gentle boil.
Once boiling, add the rinsed rice and salt. Stir to combine all ingredients well.
Cover the saucepan with a lid, reduce the heat to low, and let the rice simmer for about 20 minutes, or until the liquid is absorbed and the rice is cooked through.
Remove from heat and let it sit covered for an additional 5 minutes to steam. Fluff the rice with a fork before serving.
Drizzle with soy sauce (if using) and garnish with chopped green onions.

This Feista Food Red Rice is perfect as a side dish or a main attraction on your dinner table. Serve it alongside your favorite grilled meats or vegetables, and enjoy the burst of flavors and the warm sense of community it brings. Happy cooking!
