Ingredients

  • 2 Tbp avocado oil
  • 1/2 yellow onion finely chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 cup white rice

  1. Heat the avocado oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and saute, stirring frequently, until translucent, about 3 to 4 minutes.
  2. Add the garlic, white rice, chili powder, and dried basil. Cook and stir constantly for 2 minutes.
  3. Add the remaining ingredients to the saucepan, starting with the broth. Bring mixture to a full boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cover and cook 15 minutes (or the amount of time recommended on your package of rice), or until liquid is absorbed.
  4. Remove rice from the heat and fluff it with a fork (or carefully stir). Place cover back on the pot and allow it to sit an additional 5 to 10 minutes.
  5. Serve alongside your entree of choice.
