Cooking Steps
Heat the oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the dry rice and stir constantly for 3-4 minutes until the grains are lightly golden and smell nutty.
Add the diced onion and cook for 2-3 minutes until softened. Stir in the minced garlic and ground cumin and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Pour in the tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, broth, and salt. Stir well and bring to a strong simmer. Once simmering, reduce heat to the lowest setting, cover tightly, and cook for 20 minutes without lifting the lid.
Remove the pot from the heat and let it stand, still covered, for 5-10 minutes. Uncover, fluff the rice with a fork, and stir in the chopped cilantro. Serve immediately with lime wedges.
