Ingredients
2 plum tomatoes, cored
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 cup minced white onion
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup long-grain rice
1 3/4 cups chicken broth
1/4 cup canned tomato sauce
1 serrano chile
1 sprig fresh cilantro
Salt
Directions
- Using a box grater, grate the tomato into a medium bowl, discarding the tomato skin.
- Heat the oil in a medium heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onions and saute until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute. Stir in the rice and cook until slightly toasted, about 3 minutes.
- Add the broth, tomato sauce and grated tomato and bring to a boil. Add the serrano, cilantro sprig and salt, to taste. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to medium and simmer until the liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender, about 15 minutes.
- Turn off the heat under the skillet. Cover the rice and let stand for 8 minutes. Fluff the rice with a fork, transfer to a serving bowl and serve.
