Mexican Rice
Ingredients
- 2 cups long grain rice
- 5 cups water
- 1 small can 8 oz. tomato sauce
- 3 tbsp bouillon (or to taste)
- 1-2 tsp dehydrated onion flakes
- dash of cumin
- 1 or 2 tbsp of vegetable or olive oil (enough to coat bottom of your pan
Method
- Saute rice in oil continually until it's light brown.
- Pour in tomato sauce and water then mix in chicken bouillon, onion flakes and cumin.
- Cover pan and wait until rice begins a rolling boil then turn heat to low until it gets a simmer. DO NOT REMOVE LID OR STIR.
- Set the timer for 20 minutes but after 10 minutes jiggle the handle to move the rice around to prevent it from sticking and to redistribute the sauce.
- Once 20 minutes is up remove from heat and let it sit for 5 minutes before uncovering.
