Spanish Rice

Again, change the ingredient amount based on how much you are making and the type of rice you are using. Use the directions on the rice package as a guide for rice/liquid ratio.

Ingredients:
1 cup rice
1 chopped onion
2 roma tomatoes - squashed/mashed/slightly blended or 1/4 to 1/2 cup tomato sauce
1 cup chicken broth - the "broth" I talked about in enchilada sauce recipe
salt or Knorr brand Caldo de Tomate -con Sabor de Pollo

Directions:
1. Toast rice in pan with oil (a skillet that has a lid)
2. Add and cook finely chopped onion
3. Add tomatoes
4. Add Chicken broth
5. Bring to a boil and simmer for about 20 minutes

You can use more or less broth depending on how you like your rice - more dry or more wet. If it doesn't turn out right after simmering:

too dry: add more broth and cook a little longer to let the rice absorb liquid
too wet: take the lid off, but leave it on the stove a little longer for liquid to evaporate
