Flavorful Spanish Rice

Ingredients

Olive oil

2 tablespoons

Onion

1 medium, diced

Garlic

3 cloves, minced

Tomato

1 large, diced

Long-grain rice

1 cup

Cumin

1 teaspoon

Paprika

1 teaspoon

Salt

1/2 teaspoon

Pepper

1/4 teaspoon

Chicken or vegetable broth

2 cups

Frozen peas

1 cup

Fresh cilantro

1/4 cup, chopped

Instructions

1. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
2. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, cooking until the onion becomes translucent, about 5 minutes.
3. Stir in the diced tomato and cook for an additional 2 minutes to meld the flavors.
4. Add the long-grain rice, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper, stirring well to coat the rice evenly with the spices.
5. Pour in the chicken or vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a boil.
6. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and let it simmer for 15 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed.
7. In the final minutes of cooking, stir in the frozen peas and allow them to heat through, about 2 minutes.
8. Remove the skillet from heat and let the rice sit, covered, for an additional 5 minutes.
9. Fluff the rice with a fork, sprinkle with fresh chopped cilantro, and serve warm.
