Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Over medium heat, brown rice with oil, garlic and onion. Make sure not to burn the rice; it will be just a little toasted.
  2. Add the tomato sauce PLUS 2-3 cans of water (more water for the brown rice). Add the cumin and the chicken bullion but go easy on the bullion because it can be salty if you put too much. You may add the optional items depending your taste buds.
  3. Blend ingredients and bring mixture to boil for about 3 minutes then cover and set to a low simmer for about 20-30 minutes. Don’t lift the lid (unless you smell it burning).
  4. Let stand for another 15 minutes to make sure it gets soft and fluffy. (When serving, add fresh lemon juice but don’t add it while cooking - it will alter the flavor and might make it too bitter.).
