Mexican Rice IV

By Addie

This is a lovely Mexican rice, quick and easy to prepare, and not overly spicy.

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon oil
• 1 small onion, chopped
• 1 garlic clove, chopped
• 1 teaspoon cumin
• 1 cup long grain white rice
• 1/2 cup tomato paste (generous)
• 1 cup chicken stock

Preparation

Step 1

Heat the oil in a medium NON STICK! pan, add the onion and cook for 5 minutes, or until soft. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute.

Add the rice and stir for 1-2 minutes, or until well coated in the oil.

Add the tomato paste, cumin and stock to the pan and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat to very low, cover tightly with a lid and simmer for 25 minutes, or until the liquid is absorbed and the rice tender.

Fluff up the grains with a fork and serve as a side dish.

Yum!
