Prepare Recipe

• Saute onion and garlic with the oil in a medium pot.
• Add water, oregano and cumin, and tomato sauce to the pot.
• Cook on high until water comes to a boil.
• Add in the rice and reduce heat to medium-high, until rice is simmering for about 20 seconds.
• Add in the salt and stir the rice once around.
• Turn heat down to low, cover, and simmer for about 35-40 minutes, or until cooked through. The water should be fully absorbed and the rice should still have a little bite and not be mushy.
