GROUND BEEF AND YELLOW RICE RECIPES RECIPES

Steps:

• Rinse the rice several times in cold water until the water runs clear. Add fresh water and leave the rice to soak for at least half an hour.
• Preheat oven to 325.
• Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large pan and add the onions; stir and cook until brown. Remove the onions and set them aside.
• Add ground beef to the hot oil. Brown the meat. Add one cup of water and salt and pepper to taste. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat, cover and simmer until the meat is tender. After the meat is cooked, remove it from the broth and set it on a plate.
• Grind the onions to a pulp and add them to the meat broth.
• Wash and peel the carrots and cut into pieces the size of matchsticks. Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a small pan and add the carrots. Cook gently until the carrots are lightly browned and tender (adding a little water, which will evaporate during cooking). Add the raisins and cook gently until they begin to swell. Remove the raisins and carrots from oil.
