Mexican Rice

Mexican Rice

1 1/2 cups rice

2 1/2 cups chicken broth (I used homemade)

1 cup plain tomato sauce

3 cloves finely chopped garlic

1/4 of a medium onion

2 tablespoons oil

4 heaping tablespoons of finely chopped parsley (optional)

In a medium sauce pan, heat oil over medium heat. Add in the fresh garlic and onion. Saute for 1-2 minutes until softened. Add in dry rice. Stir for about 5 minutes until rice becomes a golden brown color.

Add in broth (I used homemade chicken broth) and tomato sauce (Slowly into rice, not directly onto hot pan!) Add in the parsley if you're using it. Stir it up and bring to a boil. Once it starts boiling, turn the heat to low and cover. Let it simmer for 20 minutes and fluff with a fork.
