INGREDIENTS:
1 1/2 cups uncooked rice
3 T. oil
3 cups chicken broth
4 oz. tomato sauce
garlic
cumin
1/4 cup green onions

DIRECTIONS:
In a large skillet, saute rice in oil until golden brown (you don't actually have to do this and it's much healthier if you don't--it's just not as authentic if you don't).

In a large saucepan, boil chicken broth. Add tomato sauce and garlic, cumin to taste. Add rice, cover and simmer 15-20 minutes. Add green onions (if desired) just before serving.
