½ brown onion (cut in half again but held together by stem)
1 cup white long grain rice (rinsed)
4 oz tomato sauce (half of a small can)
2 cups water
½ teaspoon salt
Instructions
Rinse rice and set aside.
Heat 1 Tablespoon Oil over medium heat.
Add onion and garlic for a couple of minutes to flavor the oil. Don't burn the garlic.
Add rinsed rice and stir continuously to toast the rice. About 3-4 minutes.
Stir in tomato sauce.
Add water and salt. Stir to combine.
Bring to a boil. Cover and lower heat to medium low.
Cook for 10-15 minutes.
Remove onion and garlic. Fluff with fork and serve.
Notes
*Rinse the rice to remove excess starch. Starch causes rice to clump and stick together. *I check my rice at 10 minutes but it's usually done around 13-14 minutes. *Toasting rice gives it a nutty flavor.
