- 1 cup white rice long grain
- 2 cups chicken broth or water with chicken bullion
- 2 roma tomatoes
- ½ onion ¼ diced and ¼ left to blend
- 1 garlic clove
- ½ cup of corn
- 1 tbsp neutral oil I use Avocado oil
In a pan with high sides, add oil and heat on medium until nice and hot.
Add ¼ of diced onion and the rice to the pan.
Mix well so everything is evenly coated with the oil. Cook until lightly browned.
In the meantime, blend the tomatoes, 1 garlic clove and the remaining ¼ onion in a blender until smooth.
Add tomato mixture to the rice and cook until the tomato mixture is reduced and the texture is somewhat dry.
Warm up the chicken broth in the microwave for 1 minute then add to rice and give it a stir. Taste broth and adjust seasoning with chicken bullion.
Add corn and cover with a lid. Turn the heat to low and simmer for 20 minutes.
Once all the chicken broth has been evaporated, with a fork fluff the rice and mix the rice all together.
Serve right away and enjoy!
