Spanish Brown Rice

Description

Spanish brown rice - made with fragrant spices and tangy tomatoes. Makes the perfect side dish.

Ingredients
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 cups brown rice
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tbsp cumin
  • 1 tsp oregano
  • 1 tsp bouillon (or bouillon cube) (chicken or vegetable)
  • 1 cup tomato sauce
  • 4 cups water
Instructions
  1. 1

    Heat medium-sized pot over medium-high heat. Add olive oil. 

  2. 2

    Add the brown rice to the pot and begin toasting until golden. Continue to stir while toasting. This will take about 5 to 10 minutes. 

  3. 3

    Add the garlic, salt, black pepper, cumin, oregano, and bouillon and cook for another 1 minute. 

  4. 4

    Add tomato sauce and mix it in with the rice for a couple minutes. 

  5. 5

    Add water, mix, and bring to a boil. Once boiling, cover, reduce heat to low and allow this to cook until the rice is tender and the liquid has dried. This can take 30-45 minutes, depending on the specific type of rice you use. Refrain from mixing the rice at all while it's cooking. 

  6. 6

    Once the liquid has all dried up and the rice has cooked through, remove from heat and let the rice sit for 5-10 minutes. After this time, use a fork to fluff the rice up. Serve.
