🧂 Ingredients

3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 cup uncooked long-grain rice
½ teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon garlic salt
¼ cup chopped onion
2 cups chicken broth
½ cup tomato sauce

Instructions

1 Warm the vegetable oil in a sizable saucepan set over medium heat. Add the
uncooked rice and season it with garlic salt and cumin. Stir the mixture
continuously until the rice becomes puffed and takes on a golden hue.
2 Incorporate the chopped onion, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion
softens. Pour in the chicken broth and tomato sauce, then bring the mixture to a
boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pan, and let it simmer for
20 to 25 minutes. After cooking, gently fluff the rice with a fork before
serving.
