Tex Mex Restaurant Style Rice

In a large stock pot or saucepan, heat the oil and saute the garlic cloves for no more than 2 minutes. Remove the garlic cloves and then add the rice into the pot with the oil. Stir often until it begins to brown. It will take a few minutes with a larger amount of rice. A smaller portion won't take as long.

After a few minutes of the rice browning in the oil, add the chicken stock,tomato sauce, plus 5cups of water. (I used 11 cups liquid for 5 cups of uncooked rice, 4 cups chicken stock, about 2 cups of the tomato sauce plus the 5 cups of water.) Stir in the corn, the chopped green peppers and the chopped cilantro.

Bring to bubbling, then cover and let cook for 15-20 minutes, or until rice is cooked and fluffy.

Serve Tex Mex Restaurant Style Rice with whatever your favorite Tex Mex dish is...refried beans, enchiladas, tacos, etc.
