- 1 small yellow onion diced
- 4 cloves garlic finely minced
- ¼ cup tomato paste
- 1 tablespoon lime juice from about 1 lime
- ½ cup Freshly chopped cilantro

- In a medium-sized pot, add rice and chicken broth. Bring to a boil over high heat. Stir. Cover the pot, lower the heat to low and simmer for 17-20 minutes.
- Remove from heat and keep the pot covered for 5 more minutes.
- While the rice is cooking, heat the olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Cook the onions in the hot oil for 10 minutes, until translucent and starting to brown.
