Instructions
Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear.
In a skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Toast the rice for 4–5 minutes until lightly golden.
Add the onion and garlic. Sauté for 2–3 minutes until softened.
Stir in tomato sauce, broth, cumin, and salt. Bring to a boil.
Cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer for 18–20 minutes until the liquid is absorbed.
Remove from heat and let sit, covered, for 5 minutes.
Fluff with a fork and garnish with fresh cilantro if desired.
