Serves:
Ingredients
- 1 cup long-grain white rice
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1/2 onion, diced
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 cup tomato sauce
- 1 3/4 cups chicken broth
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- Fresh cilantro, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
-
Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Drain and set aside.
-
In a large skillet or pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, and cook until softened.
-
Add the rice to the skillet and stir to coat it with the oil. Cook for 2-3 minutes, until the rice starts to turn golden brown.
-
Stir in the tomato sauce, chicken broth, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Bring to a boil.
-
Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the rice is cooked and most of the liquid is absorbed. Do not lift the lid while the rice is cooking.
-
Remove from heat and let the rice sit, covered, for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork.
-
Garnish with fresh cilantro, if desired, and serve hot.
