Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 onion (small, diced)
  • 1/4 cup water (plus more as needed)
  • 2 garlic cloves (minced)
  • 1 cup long-grain rice ((recommend Uncle Ben's Long Grain Brown Rice - not the quick or instant kind))
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher or sea salt
  • 1/2 cup cilantro (freshly chopped)
  • 14 1/2 ounces petit diced tomatoes (can)
  • 4 ounces diced green chiles (can, optional)
  • 2 cups vegetable broth (or chicken broth, low-sodium)

Instruction

  • In a large skillet or saucepan add water and diced onion. Turn to medium-low heat and saute onion until tender, about 5 minutes. Add more water as it evaporates. Add garlic and continue to saute one additional minute.
  • Add remaining ingredients, cover, reduce heat, and simmer on low for approximately 45 minutes or until rice has soaked up the liquid and is tender. If rice needs more liquid, add 1/4 cup as needed, or until rice is tender.
  • Remove from heat, leave covered and allow to set 10 minutes before serving.
