Part 2/6:
1 cup of long grain rice (rinsed to remove excess starch)
Homemade chicken broth (hot)
2 tablespoons of canola oil
These simple ingredients will combine to create a rich and vibrant dish that elevates any meal.
Creating the Tomato Sauce Base
The first step is to make a flavorful tomato sauce that will infuse the rice with depth and richness. In a blender, combine the chopped onion, garlic cloves, ground cumin, onion powder, and Roma tomatoes (without cores). Add a splash of chicken broth and blend until you have a smooth mixture.
This tomato sauce will serve as the cornerstone for building flavors in your rice dish.
