Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 1/2 cups uncooked long grain rice
  • 2 tbsp canola oil
  • 1/2 cup diced yellow or red onion
  • 1 tomato (diced)
  • 3 garlic cloves (pressed)
  • 1 cup water
  • 2 cup chicken broth
  • 8 oz can tomato sauce
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • salt
  • 2 tbsp minced fresh cilantro

Instruction

  • Preheat the cooking pan and the oil first, then add rice and mix it to coat all the grains with oil.
  • Fry rice over medium heat until it starts turning brown. Stir from time to time.
  • When rice starts turning brown, add onion, tomato, and garlic. Stir and cook for a couple more minutes. 
  • Raise the heat to medium-high and add water, chicken broth, tomato sauce, cumin, and salt. Slowly stir to mix and bring it to simmer. 
  • As soon as it starts to simmer, cover the pan with a lid and turn down the heat to low. 
  • Let rice cook. Do not stir or open the lid until all liquid has been absorbed by the rice. This will take about 20 minutes. 
  • Once rice has absorbed the liquid, take the pan off the heat and take the lid off. Fluff rice with a fork and add cilantro.
