Ingredients
  • 1 TBS Knorr chicken flavored bioullien
  • 1 TBS Comino
  • 1 large garlic clove
  • 1 8oz can of tomato sauce
  • 1 large pinch of cilantro
  • 1 Cup rice(cheap white rice from the store works)
  • 2 1/4 Cups water
  • cooking oil

Directions
  1. Chop your garlic very fine first before doing anything else!!If you wait until after you start your rice you have a higher chance of burning your rice.
  2. Next drizzle pan with cooking oil, preferably a cast iron pan, pour your rice in and toast it to a golden brown color. Just use enough oil to coat your rice and keep it from sticking.
  3. After your rice is done browning add your water, tomato sauce,cilantro,garlic, and spices. Mix together in pan and cover.
  4. I prefer covering with aluminum foil... probably 'cause all my pans are missing lids. When it comes to a boil lower it to 3 or so. Let it cook for about 10 minutes or so and it's done!!

Wow grat recipe thanks


Looks great!


Yep... this is the real stuff... Great the way you explained how to do it! We have this so often.


This recipe is just how my Mother-in-law showed me how to make rice. Love it, except I don't know what Comino is. Please let me know


Comino is a spice you can find at most any store in the spices section. I buy Fiesta brand 'cause it's cheaper but just as good. You can also use comino with garlic for ground beef in tacos.


Thanks for letting me know, I will check it out. I just finished making this rice for 40 people, I did add onions and oragano. Thanks again


Nice easy recipe...love it! j


I like the sound of this & plan on trying it out real soon. High 5


This rice turned out perfect!! It got great remarks from even the picky kids!! I did add a bit of garlic to this one...
FYI - Comino = cumin seasoning....
