Description

A hurry-up version of Spanish rice, made with instant rice, chicken broth, tomatoes, and cilantro, is ready in only a few minutes.

Ingredients

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1/2 onion, chopped
1 1/4 cups uncooked instant rice
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can diced tomatoes
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1 cup chicken broth

Directions

1 Heat the oil in a skillet over medium-high heat, and cook and stir the chopped onion until browned, about 8 minutes.
2 Stir in the rice, tomatoes, cilantro, and chicken broth, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low, and simmer until the rice is cooked and most of the liquid is absorbed, about 10 minutes.
