Spanish Rice

Spanish Rice

Ingredients

• 1 cups rice (I used brown rice)
• 1/4 cup oil (I used canola, but will try olive oil next time)
• 1/2 cup tomato sauce (I used the 5.5oz can)
• 3 stems cilantro (optional)
• 1 clove minced garlic 
• 2 cups water
• 1 chicken flavored bouillon cube (I used 1 ts "better than bouillon" chicken base)
• dash of cumin
• dash of garlic powder 

Directions:

Throw it all in the rice cooker (make sure to use the brown rice button if using brown rice) and cook per rice cooker instructions. 

Notes:

Makes a nice simple side to many of our "TexMex" style dinners. The boys loved it. The original recipe has many more steps and is made on the stovetop and it would probably turn out even better but I love the simplicity of the rice cooker!
