Ingredients

  • 1 cup short grain brown rice
  • 12 tablespoon olive oil
  • 12 cup finely chopped onion
  • 15 ounces chopped tomatoes (I used Rotel)
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 12 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 garlic clove
  • 1 jalapeno pepper, finely chopped (optional)

Method

  • Blend together canned tomatoes (with juices), ground cumin, garlic and jalapeno.
  • Add enough chicken stock to equal 3 cups of mixture.
  • Heat oil in skillet.
  • Add onions and cook until soft but not browned, about 3 minutes.
  • Add the rice and cook stirring for 2 more minutes.
  • Rice will start to look translucent.
  • Add the tomato chicken stock mixture to the rice in the skillet in 1 cup increments, stirring after each addition of liquid until totally absorbed.
  • I decided it was done after about 45-50 minutes.
