Easy Mexican Rice Recipe

Ingredients

• 4 tablespoons avocado oil (or sub with your favorite oil)
• 1 cup long grain white rice
• 1 clove garlic (minced (omit for Low FODMAP option))
• 3 teaspoons ground cumin
• 2 cups water
• 1/4 cup tomato paste
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt (or to taste)
• cilantro, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

1. 1

   Heat the oil in a medium sauce pan over medium heat. Add the rice and cook, stirring often until light golden brown, about 3 minutes. Add the garlic and cumin and cook for 30 seconds more.

2. 2

   Add the water, tomato paste and salt to the pan and stir well to combine. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and cover. Simmer for 20 minutes, or until the liquid has been absorbed.

3. 3

   When the rice is done, remove from heat and fluff with a fork. Cover and let stand for 10 minutes to steam. Garnish with cilantro, if desired, and enjoy!
