Ingredients

9 Components
Olive Oil 1 Tbsp.
Shallots Chopped ¼ cup
Celery Small diced 2 ribs
White Rice 3 cups
Fresh Mango Peeled, seeded, small diced 1 count
Fresh Lime Juice 1 lime
Fresh Parsley Chopped 1 Tbsp.

Preparation Steps

1
Sauté Vegetables & Toast Rice

Heat 1 Tbsp. olive oil in an oven-proof braising pan or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add ¼ cup chopped shallots and 2 ribs small diced celery; sauté for 2 minutes until translucent. Add 3 cups white rice and toss to coat every grain evenly in oil.

2
Add Broth & Mango Compound

Pour in 6 cups prepared RC No Added MSG Harvest Vegetable Base broth and stir in 2–3 tsp. RC Mango Extract Compound. Stir well and bring mixture to a simmer over medium-high heat.

3
Cover & Bake

Cover the pan tightly with a lid or heavy foil. Transfer to a preheated 350°F oven and bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the vegetable broth is fully absorbed.

4
Fold Fresh Fruit & Serve

Remove from oven and uncover. Add 1 Tbsp. chopped fresh parsley, 1 peeled and small diced fresh mango, and juice from 1 lime. Stir gently with a fork to fluff rice and distribute ingredients evenly. Serve hot.

Chef Notes & Flavor Architecture

Layered Mango Profile: Incorporating RC Mango Extract Compound into the cooking liquid infuses aromatic tropical mango flavor directly into the core of each rice grain, while folding fresh diced mango in at the end provides colorful texture contrast.

Vegetable Base Foundation: Preparing the cooking broth with RC No Added MSG Harvest Vegetable Base provides a rich, roasted mirepoix depth that grounds the sweet fruit notes with essential savory balance.

Menu Pairing Suggestions: An outstanding starch pairing for Caribbean jerk chicken, grilled Mahi-Mahi, coconut shrimp, or slow-roasted mojo pork tenderloin.
