Los Tios Mexican Rice

I was planning to make a really simple "Spanish" rice with just a pinch of cumin, but bumped into this and tried it instead. Easy to do. Chicken stock, tomato, and garlic are buzzed up together for the liquid. I buzzed a chili with this and the rice was nicely tingly.

This is a nice change from the normal "Spanish rice" I usually make (Homesick Texan). Los Tios rice is very flavorful with a punch of spice (2 serrano chiles). I only cooked this 25 minutes and it was slightly soft (but not yet mushy), and with only 1 1/2 cups water (not broth), which was plenty.
