Skinny Mexican Rice
- Number of Servings: 4
Ingredients
1 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil 2 serving Garlic (1 clove) (by AIRAMEI) 4 oz Onion, sweet, raw 1 cup Brown Rice, long grain 1 tsp Cumin seed 0.5 tsp Pepper, black 0.50 tsp Kosher Salt (by 65PLUS1) 25 grams Cilantro, raw 1.25 cup Great Value Diced Tomatoes (in Tomato juice) 0.5 cup Diced Tomatoes & Green Chiles, RO*TEL (by JERTEX) 2 cup Vegetable Broth
In a large skillet or sauce pan add oil, turn to medium-low heat and saute onion until tender, about 4 minutes. Add garlic and continue to saute one additional minute. Add remaining ingredients, cover, reduce heat and simmer on low for approximately 45 minutes or until rice has soaked up the liquid and is tender.
NOTE: The time it takes to cook the rice will depend on the brand. Some brands take 35 minutes, while others take up to an hour. We prefer Uncle Ben's Long Grain Rice because it is tender in approximately 35-45 minutes.
Remove from heat, leave covered and allow to set 10 minutes before serving.
