Ingredients
  • 1 1/2 cups Long grain rice
  • 1 medium Onion chopped fine
  • 1 jalapeno Peppers chopped fine -- up to 5
  • 2 cups Chicken stock
  • oz can tomato sauce
  • 1/2 tablespoons Ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoons Salt
  • 1/2 teaspoons Pepper
  • Cup frozen green sweet peas -- (opt)
  • 3 tablespoons Vegetable oil
Directions
  1. 1
    Heat vegetable oil in a large heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat.
  2. 2
    Add the long grain rice and toast, stirring frequently, until it turns golden brown, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. 3
    Add the chopped onion and jalapeño peppers; sauté for 1-2 minutes until softened.
  4. 4
    Stir in the chicken stock, tomato sauce, ground cumin, salt, pepper, and frozen peas.
  5. 5
    Bring the mixture to a rolling boil, stirring only the top layer to incorporate ingredients without disturbing the rice at the bottom.
  6. 6
    Once boiling, reduce heat to low and immediately cover the pot tightly with a lid.
  7. 7
    Simmer gently for 20 minutes without removing the lid.
  8. 8
    Remove from heat and let the pot stand, still covered, for at least 30 minutes to allow the rice to steam and absorb remaining liquid.
  9. 9
    Uncover and fluff the rice with a fork before serving.
