The Christmas season brings us the possibility of trying recipes that cannot always be eaten for health reasons. Rice with bacon and its various variations is ideal for both Christmas dinners and New Year’s parties.
Christmas rice with bacon
Ingredients
- 3 cups of rice
- 3 cups of water (in the Sierra you need 4 cups of water)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon of oil
- 8 strips of chopped bacon
- 1 can of corn
- 1/2 cup of minced pearl onion
- 2 sprigs of chopped parsley
Preparation
Heat a pot with water, salt and oil. Rinse the rice and add it when the water is boiling. Over normal heat, cover and let the water evaporate, then it is time to lower the temperature of the heat and let it cook for about 15 minutes. You are now ready to continue the preparation.
Chop the bacon into small squares. Chop the onion also into squares. Place the onion and bacon in a pan and let it brown so that the bacon is crispy.
Open the can of corn and drain the liquid.
Proceed to mix the onion, bacon, corn with the rice and check the salt.
Chop the parsley and sprinkle over the prepared rice.
Rice with bacon and almonds
Ingredients
- 3 cups of rice
- 3 cups of water
- 8 strips of bacon
- 1 cup toasted almonds or walnuts
- 1/2 cup chopped red bell pepper
- 1/2 cup chopped green bell pepper
- 1 tablespoon of oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
Preparation
Heat a pot with water, salt and oil. Rinse the rice and add it when the water is boiling. Over normal heat, cover and let the water evaporate, then it is time to lower the temperature of the heat and let it cook for about 15 minutes.
Walnuts can be browned by chopping and sautéing them in a pan without oil.
In case you use almonds, they are peeled first, for this you have to soak them in boiling water for half an hour. Then they can be filleted and sautéed in a frying pan to brown, or placed in a dish and left to brown in an oven.
Brown the chopped bacon.
Proceed to mix the rice with the chopped bacon, the colored peppers and the walnuts or almonds. Check the seasoning and add more salt if needed. (F)
