Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1.5 cups long-grain rice
  • 3 cups water
  • 2 roma (plum) tomatoes, chopped
  • 1 cup chopped onion
  • 0.75 cup chopped fresh cilantro, or more to taste
  • 1 tablespoon tomato bouillon with chicken flavoring (such as Knorr®), or more to taste

Steps

  1. Place a pot over medium-heat heat; add oil and heat until oil shimmers slightly. Pour rice into hot oil, stirring constantly, until rice is golden to dark brown, about 5 minutes.
  2. Mix water, tomatoes, onion, cilantro, and bouillon into rice. Bring to a boil, then turn off heat. Cover the pot tightly with a lid and let sit until liquid is absorbed, about 20 minutes. Adjust seasonings as needed.
