Okay…as requested here is how to make the Cafe Rio rice. Please keep in mind that Kim is making this for the reunion, but here it is so you can have it.
8 cups water
8 chicken bouillon cubes
2 tsp cumin
4 cloves garlic (minced)
12 chopped green onions
2 T butter
12 sprigs celontro
4 cups rice
Heat water in a large pot and add remaining ingredients ending with the rice. Bring to a simmer and cook until done. About 20 minutes. Fluff rice and serve.
It makes a ton…so be ready.
Thanks~
Amy, are you sure there isn’t any lime juice in that rice??????
Thanks - what ma and I need is a rice receipt! But - I am going to have her try it.
Thanks that will be fun to make and have with the sweet pork salad.
Yes I am sure, but I think it would taste good with some. That is the receipt I was given. Father, it will be fun to have some different tasting rice.
Thanks Amy. Father, cafe rio is a mexican salad. You like it. Remember, Kaden is jealous of all the rice you get to eat.
Now Amy what about the sweet pork for the care rio? Sorry but you forgot this point!!
I don’t have the sweet pork recipe, but I think that Mother or Kim has the sweet pork, or something similar. I have the chicken recipe.
Pork roast, 20oz of REGULAR Coke, one bottle of HONEY BBQ sauce….cook the heck out of it in your crock-pot, shred and serve….
I used a 2-liter of Coke and a bag of Brown sugar on mine at the cabin. You put the sugar directly on the meat, rub it in a bit, then cover with the coke. The last hour, you shred the meat, remove any fat, and take out half the liquid. Cook the remaining hour and serve. Sandy said the rice does have lime in it, but I didn’t add it at the reunion. I usually just add a little lime to my salad. I just forgot to bring any to the reunion.
