Portuguese Tomato Rice Recipe

YOU WILL NEED:

• 1 package of Portuguese Tomato Rice Seasoning Mix
• 1 cup long-grain jasmine white rice
• 2 cups water
• 1 tablespoon canola oil or vegetable oil

Directions:

1. In a medium saucepan heat the oil over medium high heat.
2. Then add rice and mix to coat every grain; cook 3-4 minutes. (this helps reduce the starch on the rice before adding liquid.)
3. Next add water and seasoning mix, stir, and bring back up to a boil.
4. When liquid begins to boil again, cover the pot, and reduce the heat to LOW.
5. Cook the rice undisturbed for 20 minutes.
6. After 20 minutes set pan aside and let rice stand for 5 minutes undisturbed before fluffing with a fork.
7. Fluff with fork and stir blending anything that might have settled to the bottom of the pan. Serve immediately.
