Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup long grain white rice uncooked
  • 1 small white onion diced
  • 1 ½ cups chicken broth
  • 8 oz can tomato sauce
  • 2 tablespoon canola oil
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ tsp cumin

Instructions
 

  • Add olive oil and diced onions to a large saucepan over medium heat. Cook about 2-3 minutes until the onions are just tender.
  • Add rice to the onions and cook for a few more minutes, stirring occasionally to lightly brown rice.
  • Add the remaining ingredients to the pan and bring to a low simmer. Stir to make sure ingredients are well incorporated.
  • Cover, and cook for about 20 minutes or until rice is tender but not mush. Check on the rice about halfway through and give a light stir to make sure the bottom is not sticking.
  • Remove rice from heat and serve. Enjoy!

Notes

  • If the rice is still slightly hard near the end of the cooking time, add about 2-3 tablespoons of chicken broth or water, cover and cook another few minutes.
  • You can also use olive, avocado or vegetable oil.
