Cooking InstructionsHide images
step 1
Finely dice Onion (1) and Garlic (2 cloves).
step 2
In a large saucepan, heat the Cooking Oil (2 Tbsp) and then cook onion until soft and translucent, for 10 minutes. Once the onion is cooked, add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
step 3
Mix Canned Chopped Tomatoes (1 cup), Salt (to taste), and Ground Black Pepper (to taste) and simmer for 3 minutes.
step 4
Add Chicken Broth (2 cups) to the pan and then mix in the Short Grain White Rice (1 1/3 cups).
step 5
Once the mixture reaches a boil, turn down the heat to medium-low and cover the pan. Cook for 10-15 minutes, until almost no liquid is left in the pan and rice is cooked through.
step 6
Remove the rice from heat and serve warm in bowls, topped with some Fresh Cilantro (to taste).
