Step 1

Heat oil on medium-high in a large saucepan. Add rice and saute to brown and toast the grains. Some should be slightly brown and others white as they heat.

Step 2

Add the garlic, cumin, and dry onion. Stir to saute and toast the spices along with the rice for about a minute.

Step 3

Add in the broth and stir. Next, add the tomato sauce and stir.

Step 4

Bring to a boil and then turn down to low. Put the lid on your saucepan and continue to cook on a very slow simmer for about 20 minutes.

Step 5

Try and only remove the lid and stir 1-2x during the 20 minute cooking time.

Step 6

When done, fluff with a fork and transfer to a serving bowl.
