Arroz a la tumbada

Arroz a la Tumbada is a cherished Mexican dish and a seafood aficionado's delight. It begins with a savory sofrito crafted from chopped tomatoes, onions, garlic, and red peppers. Once this base is simmering, white rice is incorporated along with either fish broth or water. The dish truly comes to life when a medley of fresh seafood, including shrimp, clams, crab, calamari, and whitefish, is added. To further enhance the flavors, an assortment of fresh herbs such as epazote, parsley, coriander, and oregano is sprinkled in. Traditionally, this exquisite mélange is cooked in a cazuela, a thick clay pot that accentuates the dish's rich, hearty essence.
