Ingredients

Servings
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 16 oz long grain white rice uncooked
  • 1 onion diced
  • 1/4 tsp cumin
  • 32 oz chicken broth
  • 8 oz tomato sauce (1 small can)
  • 1 tbsp chicken bouillon
  • 12 oz pea thawed, frozen
  • 12 oz carrot thawed, frozen
  • 2 Serrano peppers whole

Instructions

  1. In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the onion and rice and cook, stirring frequently, until onion starts to turn translucent and rice starts to become a toasty golden brown, about 3-5 minutes.
  2. Stir in cumin, then add broth, tomato sauce and bullion and bring to a rapid boil.
  3. Add in the peas and carrots and serrano peppers (whole) and let the rice return to a boil.
  4. Cover the skillet with a lid and reduce the heat to low and let the rice simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the liquid has been absorbed.
  5. Remove the pan from the heat and discard the peppers. Serve warm. Enjoy!
