Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons butter
- ½ a yellow onion finely diced
- 1 cup uncooked white rice 210g
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- ½ teaspoon ground cumin
- ¼ teaspoon chili powder
- ⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper
- ⅛ teaspoon black pepper
- 3 tablespoons tomato sauce/paste
- 2 cups vegetable stock 475ml
Instructions
- Melt the butter in a large pot or saute pan (with a lid) over medium-low heat, then stir in the onion and cook, stirring, for 3-4 minutes or until softened slightly.
- Add the rice and cook, stirring constantly, until the rice just begins to turn golden - about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the minced garlic, cumin, chili powder, cayenne and pepper and cook, stirring for 1 minute, then stir in the tomato sauce/paste and cook for 1 more minute.
- Stir in the vegetable stock, increase the heat and bring to the boil. Reduce heat to low, cover the pan with the lid and simmer the Seasoned Rice for 20-25 minutes, or until the rice is cooked through. Check occasionally so the rice doesn’t scorch and add a little water if necessary.
- Serve and enjoy.
