Spanish Rice

The original recipe called for 1/4 cup oil - so I reduced it....you could even try just 1 Tbsp oil. Also, I usually put a little less salt in. 2 tsp. is a lot to me. Make sure you add that much pepper though. Can also substitute brown rice for white. Yum!

1½ cups white rice
2 Tbsp. oil
¼ cup chopped onion
1 clove garlic, minced
2 cups chicken broth (1 small can)
2 cups water
1 Tbsp. cumin
2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. pepper
1 tsp. garlic powder
1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce

Sauté rice in oil. Add onion and garlic. Sauté. Add chicken broth, water and remaining ingredients. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat. Simmer for 20-30 minutes.
