Spanish Rice Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 1 cup long-grain white rice
• 1/2 cube chicken-flavored bouillon
• 2 cups water (or 4 cups lower sodium chicken broth - and no bouillon)
• 1/2 (8-ounce) can tomato sauce
• 1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
• Dash garlic pepper

Steps

1. Heat oil in large frying pan over medium heat.
2. Add rice and cook, stirring until golden brown, about 5 minutes.
3. Combine bouillon and water in a microwave-safe container and microwave for 3 minutes.
4. When rice is brown, add bouillon mixture, tomato sauce, salt, garlic, cumin and garlic pepper to the pan.
5. Stir and cover the pan. Let simmer for 30-40 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until all is cooked and there is no liquid left. Fluff before serving and top with cilantro if desired.
