Arroz Rojo (Red Rice)

Ingredients:

2 tbsp canola oil

1 small onion

3 cups long grain white rice (or 4 of those little measuring cups that come with your rice cooker)

8oz can of tomato sauce

~1 box of chicken broth (you won't use the whole box)

Spices: garlic powder, salt, black pepper

Directions:

Finely chop the onion and sauté it in the canola oil over medium heat until it starts to brown.  I also add my spices at this point: a good shake of garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.

Add the rice to your pan and sauté for a few more minutes, just to toast the rice a little.

Add the rice to your rice cooker along with the can of tomato sauce and enough chicken broth to bring your total amount of liquid up to 6 cups (or the 4 mark on your rice cooker).

Close and start your rice cooker, or bring your pot to a boil, cover, and cook according to the directions on your bag of rice.

Fluff the rice with a  fork when it finishes.
