I made a massive pot of chicken and vegetable soup, and a big ol pan of Mexican rice for a Saturday food distribution a few weeks ago.
I'm just trying to level up to a full-blown cauldron, but for now, I use my canning pots for giant batches of soup like this.
So I can give you the rough proportions, but I eyeball it at this point.
Take a hearty glug of oil or lard and throw it in the bottom of a ripping hot pan, throw a diced onion in, and your rice.
You're going to want to stir and shake the pot constantly until a few of the grains of raise are golden brown and the rest have turned white. Get them all nice and toasty. Just before that point I throw in a handful or so of finely diced cilantro stems just until they bloom. I have a pitcher of water and tomato consume' or knorr tomato seasoning at the ready before I throw everything in the pot. So when everything is done I flush the rice with the water and stock powder, I bring that to a light boil and then throw it on the back burner, barely simmering until done. Sometimes I'll throw some red beans or diced tomatoes, green peppers/whatever chilis I pull out of my garden but thats it. Finish with chopped cilantro.
I know that's kind of chaotic, so let me know if you want me to clarify anything!
