Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 tomatoes (, stemmed and quartered)
1/2 yellow onion (, peeled and quartered)
2 cloves garlic (, peeled)
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 tablespoon canola oil
1 cup uncooked long grain white rice
1 1/2 cups chicken broth

Steps:

  • Place the tomato, onion, garlic and salt in a blender or food processor and blend until smooth, then set aside.
  • Add the oil to a large skillet over medium heat. When the oil is hot, add the rice and cook for about 5 minutes or until golden brown, stirring constantly so it doesn't burn. Add the tomato mixture to the skillet (be careful, it will sizzle and splatter) and cook for 2 minutes while stirring. Add the chicken broth, stir, and cover with a ild. Reduce to a simmer and cook for about 30 minutes or until the liquid is totally absorbed. Fluff with a fork to stir in the tomato bits that have risen to the top. Serve warm.
