Ingredients
- 3 1/2 cups white rice dry
- 6 cups water or chicken broth
- 1 can diced tomatoes
- 1 onion diced
- 1 bell pepper diced
- 1 Tablespoon tomato paste
- 3 garlic cloves minced (or 2 teaspoons garlic powder)
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Put diced onion, and diced pepper in large pot (we use a dutch oven) with 1 TB cooking oil. Meanwhile, brown onions and peppers for about 5 minutes over medium heat.
- When the onions start to appear translucent or slightly brown, add dry rice to pot. Cook for 5 additional minutes, stirring frequently to keep rice from burning.
- Add liquids, tomato paste, canned tomatoes, garlic, and spices to pot. Increase to high heat.
- Watch for liquid to boil; after 3-5 minutes at a rolling boil, reduce heat to low and cover pot.
- Cook for 10-12 minutes on low heat, then turn off heat. Allow to sit, covered, for 15 minutes before removing lid.
- Stir rice to fluff and enjoy!
