Ingredients

  • 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • 1 small yellow onion finely diced
  • 3 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground pepper
  • ⅛ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 42 ounces canned crushed tomatoes (one 28-ounce can and one 14-ounce can)
  • 2 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
  • 1 cup water
  • ¾ cup uncooked brown basmati rice rinsed and drained
  • 5 large basil leaves thinly sliced
  • 3 tablespoons minced flat-leaf parsley
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan set over medium heat.
  2. Add the diced onion. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion softens and becomes translucent, 6 to 8 minutes. If the onions are drying out as they cook, add a teaspoon or two of water.
  3. Add garlic, oregano, red pepper flakes, salt and pepper. Cook, stiring, for 1 minute.
  4. Pour in the crushed tomatoes (both cans), vegetable broth, water and rice. Stir to combine. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low (or whatever heat allows the mixture to cook at a simmer).
  5. Cover and simmer until the rice is tender, 30 to 40 minutes. Stir a couple of times during the cooking time, scraping the bottom of the saucepan with a wooden spoon to ensure that the rice isn’t sticking.
  6. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Stir in the basil and parsley. Serve.
