SPANISH RICE USING TOMATO SAUCE



Spanish Rice Using Tomato Sauce image

Since I can't eat entire tomatoes, I'm grateful for a recipe that uses tomato sauce instead of crushed tomatoes, etc. This recipe comes from Host Chelsie Kenyon on About.com's Mexican cooking forum. Thank you, Chelsie! Please see Chelsie's original recipe here at http://mexicanfood.about.com/od/quickmexicanrecipes/r/SpanishRice.htm You can make the salt nonexistent in this recipe by using no-salt tomato sauce and chicken broth.

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 medium onions, finely chopped (about 2 cups)
1 large green bell pepper, finely chopped (about 1 3/4 cup)

Stir in remaining 1/2 cup cilantro leaves, season to taste, and serve on the side to spoon over rice.
