Ingredients
  • 2 Tbsp. oil
  • 1-1/2 cups rice
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 3 cups chicken or vegetable broth
  • 1/3 cup fresh salsa (see note below)

Directions
  1. Heat oil in a saucepan. Add rice and stir until rice starts to turn a little bit white or even a bit brown. Add garlic, cook briefly, then pour in broth and salsa. Bring to a boil, then lower heat to simmer, cover pot, and cook for 25 minutes. Let sit for about 5 minutes longer off the heat before serving.
  2. Note: This is best with an uncooked tomato salsa. The stuff you get in a jar in the supermarket will work too, but the flavor of a fresh salsa is really outstanding! I am fortunate to have a local store that makes a really tasty salsa, but if you can find a recipe that uses just tomato, onion, garlic, jalapeno, and lemon/lime juice, all blended in the blender, that would be a good way to go too.
