Mexican Style Rice

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cup long-grain white rice
  • 1 medium yellow onion
  • 1/2 green bell pepper
  • 1 medium red tomato
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp ground comino (cumin)
  • 8 ounces can tomato sauce
  • 2 cups hot water
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil

Instructions

Chop the onion, tomato, bell pepper and set aside. All stirring called for in this recipe should be done with a fork to avoid "mushing" the rice. In a heavy skillet, heat the oil over high heat until very hot but not quite smoking. Add the rice and stir. Fry the rice until it's golden brown. (This is a very important step if you want "real" spanish rice. Add the chopped onion, tomato, bell pepper, garlic powder, salt, and comino. Stir for a couple of minutes until the vegetables are partially cooked. Add the tomato sauce and hot water. Stir until the mixture comes to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until it reaches desired consistancy, stirring occasionally.
