  • For the rice, blend the tomato with the onion, garlic, one cup of chicken broth, and season with salt. Set aside.
  • Heat the oil in a pot over medium heat and fry the rice, stirring occasionally and carefully so it doesn't break, until it is golden. Remove the excess oil.
  • With the help of a strainer, add the tomato broth and cook for a few minutes. Pour in the rest of the broth, let it come to a boil, add the chili, and cover. Cook on low heat for about 30 minutes or until the liquid has evaporated and the rice is cooked.
  • Remove from heat and let it rest covered for 10 minutes. Let it cool completely.
  • For the picadillo: Blend the tomato, onion, garlic, and chicken broth. Strain and set aside.
  • Heat the oil in a deep skillet over medium heat, fry the meat with the onion until golden. Pour in the tomato broth and boil over medium heat for 5 minutes, add the vegetables, and cook until the liquid is completely evaporated. Season and let cool.
  • Line a ring-shaped mold with non-stick plastic and add half of the rice. Pack it very well using a spoon, ensuring to cover the edges and leaving no empty spaces.
  • Create a groove in the middle of the rice and fill it with the picadillo. Cover with the remaining rice and pack it very well. Refrigerate for 2 hours.
  • Unmold the ring and heat before serving, and garnish with fresh cilantro.
