This is the rice staple I grew up on. Everyone loves it. This is for a classic small size
Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup finely diced white onion
- 1.5 tablespoon chopped fresh Cilantro
- 1 cup rice
- 4 oz tomato Sauce
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1 and 2/3 cup flavored stock….ideally homemade but better than bullion works great (1 tbsp) and perfect veg version is their roasted vegetable version
- Bring stock to a simmer and set aside
- Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in separate pan
- Add rice and toast until slightly golden brown..a good 5 minutes
- Add cilantro and onion and stir for a bit…another 4 to 5 minutes
- Add tomato sauce, work for another 4-5 mins to take off acidic edge
- Hit with the garlic powder
- Bring the water back to a slight boil and add into the rice mix
- Simmer for about 16 to 18 mins or until absorbed
- Let sit for 5-10 min if you can (after you have tasted of course)
BAM!
do’s: the better the stock, the better the rice…….
donts: rush the skillet process….put in too much sauce…
