Mexican Tomato Rice

  • 2 1/2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 Small onion minced
  • 4 Jalapeño Pepper seeded and minced (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 5 cloves Garlic minced
  • 1 1/2 cups long-grain rice
  • 2 tomatoes seeded and diced
  • cilantro (wansoy) (leaves), to serve
  • Fresh Lime (chopped), to serve

Instructions
 

  • Bring the chicken stock to a boil. Set aside.
  • In a large saucepan over medium-low heat, sauté the onions and jalapeño peppers in olive oil until the onion is softened.
  • Add the tomato paste and garlic, and cook, stirring for an additional minute. Add the rice and stir to coat the grains with oil. Cook, stirring constantly, for another 2 minutes.
  • Stir in the hot broth and bring to a boil. Reduce the flame to low and simmer until the water is all absorbed, about 18 to 20 minutes.
  • Remove from heat; let stand for 15 minutes. Stir in the chopped tomatoes and cilantro. Serve with lime wedges on the side.
