EASY SPANISH RICE

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups rice 2 1/2 cups chicken broth 1 cup plain tomato sauce* 3 cloves garlic, chopped* 1/4 medium onion chopped* 2 Tbsp. oil 4 heaping Tbsp. finely chopped parsley (i used my dried)

Preparation 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 miunutes until rice becomes a golden brown color. Add in broth and tomato sauce (slowly into rice, not directly onto hot pan) Add in the parsley, stir and bring to a boil. Once it starts boiling, turn the heat to low and cover. let i simmer for 20 minutes and fluff with a fork. *If you don't have fresh garlic or onion you can use the equivalent in powder form. Add when you add the liquid. If you don't have tomato sauce you can use canned stewed or dice tomatoes with their liquid. (I use mild Rotell w/ chilies, blended slightly in the blender)
