My post today is about the Rice Veracruz that was our side dish with the Chicken Tinga we had the other night. This dish was so good it was worth a separate blog post. It started with converted rice that was simply cooked in water. It was then combined with sauteed onion, red bell pepper, poblano pepper, garlic and paprika. It was finished with pimento-stuffed olives, parsley and capers. Each bite was packed with a burst of flavor.
