Despite the really odd picture, I read the reviews and decided to make this rice. I used shortening instead of the lard and used turmeric in place of the saffron. Keep in mind to use less turmeric as it is stronger in flavor than saffron. I thought I would have to times this recipe by three to feed 20 people but doubling it is plenty for all! I also used chicken stock for flavor. One of the best rice recipes I have made and am confident our guests will enjoy it. Now.....get a different picture of it on the website! :

I did not have ground pork on hand so I used ground beef. It still came out pretty good. I am going to keep this recipe in my file.

I really enjoyed this rice. A colleague had tested it and I wanted to try it out for myself. I used canola oil instead of lard for browning the pork. Otherwise I followed the recipe very closely, using a store-bought chicken stock instead of water. I probably was a little stingy with the saffron because of the cost. The chorizo gave the rice a lot of flavor. The chopping wasn't too labor intensive. I'll like having this for leftovers the rest of the week. Would definitely make this dish again!

This recipe has much more ingredients than original mexican rice. We don't usually add chorizo or pork, or lard!
Mexican rice is much more simple but with lots of flavor!

The first time, I made this dish was for my sons homecoming from Iraq in the spring of 2007. We had a party with about 40 people there and I made Mexican food. This rice was a big hit. I used shortening instead of lard and no pork. Since then I have made this recipe a number of times. We love it! And it's a lot of fun to make.

Our family takes turns cooking Sunday dinner so we can all get together. I decided to do a mexican food night and everyone loved the rice. I did not have the saffron on hand so I left it out. I am planning to make it for a group of 70 for a mexican food day at work celebrating the 12 days of Christmas. I hope it goes over as well at work as it did at home.

This is the best Mexican rice recipe I've had. My sister made it one night when we were over and I couldn't eat enough. I made it a few days later and everyone loved it!

So for my Cinco de Mayo party, in typical me fashion, I bit off more than I could chew and started to panic a little when I realised I hadn't made "the rice". Much to my surprise, it was remarkably simple to make and it was delicious. I made an enormous pot of it and there was not one grain left. I amonly writing this review because I have been asked by two different people for the recipe and thought it was only right to share how much of an impression this dish made on my guests. Enjoy!!!

Because my man doesn't eat pork or beef, I made this the other night using turkey tasso, it still came out really moist and good! It makes a lot, so be prepared for leftovers.
