Spanish Rice

A former co-worker made this for me one evening. This is a very easy recipe to make and easily adjusted to your own personal tastes or diets.

• Ready In: 25 mins
• Serves: 4-6

Ingredients

• 2  cups white rice (raw)
• 2  tablespoons  vegetable oil
• 1  onion (medium, chopped)
• 1  poblano pepper (chopped)
• 2  garlic cloves, minced
• 4  ounces tomato sauce
• 1  tablespoon tomato paste
• 2 1⁄2 cups chicken broth
• 1  teaspoon cumin

Directions

1. In large skillet over medium-high heat cook rice for approximately 5 minutes, add onion and poblano pepper. Continue to cook until rice is browned and onions are soft and tender. Stirring constantly, you do not want the rice to burn. Add garlic and the 1 tablespoon tomato paste, stirring well. Add tomato sauce, broth and cumin. Reduce heat to low-- cover and cook for 15-20 minutes or until rice is done and fluffy.
