Ingredients
-
2 Roma (plum tomatoes), cored
-
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
-
1 cup minced onion
-
2 cloves garlic, minced

1 cup uncooked long-grain white rice

1 ¾ cups low-sodium chicken broth
-
¼ cup canned tomato sauce
-
1 jalapeno pepper, chopped

2 sprigs fresh cilantro

salt to taste
Directions
-
Grate tomatoes into a bowl using a box grater; discard tomato skins.
-
Heat vegetable oil in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion; cook and stir until tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
-
Stir in rice and cook, stirring often, until rice is lightly toasted, about 3 more minutes. Stir in grated tomato, chicken broth, and tomato sauce; bring mixture to a boil.

Stir in jalapeño pepper, cilantro, and salt; reduce heat to low. Cover the skillet and simmer until liquid has been absorbed, about 15 minutes. Do not lift the cover while rice is cooking.
