Easy Spanish Rice

1 cup rice
1 or 2 small cans of tomato sauce (use 2 cans for moist rice, or just 1 if you like it “restaurant” style)
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp garlic salt
1 tsp chili powder
1 tsp fresh ground or regular pepper
1 tbs oil
1 1/2 cups water

Heat oil in a saucepan. Pour in the rice, and brown slightly. Add the remaining ingredients, bring to a boil, cover and simmer on medium low until the liquid is absorbed and the rice is done.

    I made this the other night and it was a big hit.

    The second time I made it I made some variations. I used brown rice instead of white and cooked it completely before adding the tomatoes and spices.

    Also, I’m living abroad and can’t seem to find tomato sauce, so I used a 16oz can of diced tomatoes (the first time) and a can of tomato paste plus a can of water (the second time). So, if you don’t have exactly the specified kind of tomatoes, you can still have spanish rice.

    Thanks for a great recipe.
