How to Make It
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 cup brown rice, uncooked
- ¼ cup onion, chopped
- 2 ½ cups chicken broth or water
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1-2 cloves garlic, chopped
- 1 cup tomatoes, diced
- ¼ cup tomato sauce
- ½ teaspoon salt
Preparation
1
Place oil in a pan and heat over medium heat.
2
Add rice and onions, and sauté until onions are soft.
3
Add chicken broth or water, cumin, garlic, tomatoes, tomato sauce, and salt.
