Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Canola Oil or Olive Oil
- ½ whole large onion, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 cups long grain rice
- 1 can Rotel (10 ounce)
- 1 can whole tomatoes (14.5 ounce)
- 2 cups low sodium chicken broth (more if needed)
- 1 teaspoon cumin (more to taste)
- Cayenne pepper, chili powder, tumeric, oregano (any spices that make you happy)
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- Fresh cilantro for garnish
Directions
Heat oil in a large skillet. Add onions and garlic, then cook for 3 to 4 minutes. Reduce heat to low and add rice and garlic. Stir constantly, making sure the rice doesn’t burn. Cook over low heat for 3 minutes. Add Ro-tel and tomatoes. Stir to combine and let cook for 2 minutes. Finally, add broth and desired seasonings and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 10 to 15 additional minutes or until rice is done. Add more liquid as needed; rice shouldn’t be sticky. Just before serving, sprinkle lots of freshly chopped cilantro over the top. Serve immediately.
Notes: If you are cooking with brown rice cook it a little longer than normal. And cut recipe in half if only cooking for 2 people.
